iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,

Encrypted Source File

Post by gilbarus » Mon Feb 27, 2017 5:21 pm

Hi, I need to create a loop and I can see the browser by default is hiding the password field. Is there a way I can encrypt the source file as there is a different password for each record so if anyone is looking at the source file he can't pull out the passwords? In other words - create the source file password field encrypted and than it is also hidden on the browser (Need I macro to decrypt and enter the correct password).

Thanks

Interesting Qt but "CIM" (read my Sig...) for me to do any digging... :roll:

Have you already looked at the '!ENCRYPTION' Command and the iMacros Password Tool...?
I know that for FF, iMacros for FF includes the 'rijndael.js' Encryption/Decryption Module with the Add-on...

iMacros Browser (x86) Version 11.1.495.5175
Released on 3/10/2016
Win 10

I did read both links and I think I need to create the source file with same encryption IMacros can handle (decrypt). Can we do that or I need to use FF add-on? You mentioned something like rijndael.js which I am totally not familiar with.

I rather use FF as I am handing it to 3rd party to process and this is why I need to keep the source data confidential.

OK for FCI, always mention that Required Info when you open a Thread, many Commands are not implemented for all Browsers/Versions and I normally don't even read when it's not mentioned...

Well, the '!ENCRYPTION' Command is available for all 4 Browsers so I guess it's the same Implementation for all 4 and the 'iMacros Password Tool' I referred you to (Link from the Wiki) doesn't say anything that it will only work for one or the other specific Browser, so I guess your DataSource once containing your Passwords encrypted with that Tool/Encryption will work on all 4 Browsers and your 3rd Party Users will be able to use IE/CR/FF...
I don't know though how the "System" exactly works with the 'Master Password' with the 'STOREDKEY|TMPKEY' Parameter, I've never tried using the '!ENCRYPTION' Command and I only saw once a Thread related to it because of some Link not working anymore for a few days until it was fixed (but that was maybe already 1 or 2 years ago), so I've never done any Digging into it... And I would think it must be working correctly if we never see Threads on the Forum about it, ah-ah...! 8)
