Is there a way to prevent the encrypted parameter result of the simple encryption algorithm from being displayed when in director and selecting a job?

I don't believe so.

Thanks.

I am going to open a case because it took me only a few minutes to determine the function and that an inverse function exists.

Which of course yields the database passwords from the last run.

If you want to get the default password for a job, and you can read the job, you can copy it (or edit without saving), delete the old job contents except the parameters, and use the command
echo #I_GOT_YOUR_PASSWORD#

I don't know what you were trying to say in the above quote.

Anyhow, did you get to talk to your support folks? Do drop in a line if they give you a 'YES, you can restrict the encrypted password from appearing in the job log' response.

If you can read someone's job, you can open it and replace the contents with an External Source stage (for example) and run the OS command "echo" against any encrypted parameter that they have specified a default for and you can see their default value.

Yep. We have a case open and they are going to fix the issue of the encrypted strings showing up in the status files and when you double click on the job log in director.

Really!! I didn't know that (and of course, so many other things). I will give that a try...., but am sure my DBAs will not like that. Could be a SOX issue.

Yes, those are all SOX issues. They are also PCI and HIPAA issues.
