Hi,

I need to create a connection via Datameer Rest Api by providing server url, user name, password etc. However, the password is encrypted like below;

"password": [
 "SECURE:0:nzCEa3xd/EUVpSMz3AvcYoIV5iG5xF8+"
 ]

As far as I understand, to be able to create a connection via api, I should provide the encrypted version of the original password. Therefor, I would like to know what kind of encryption is executed here. Or, if there is another way, I would like to hear it as well.

Thanks,

Tuğrul

  There is an encryption script that is included with the Datameer installation which allows users to encrypt plain text into the secure password format. This is outlined in our documentation here: https://documentation.datameer.com/documentation/display/DAS70/REST+API+Connections#RESTAPIConnections-encryptEncryption The exact encryption type is not disclosed.

  It is recommended to use the encrypted version within the REST API whenever possible.
