Hello,
We are making a HttpRequest to invoke a web service. We have to pass the user id/password along with the request for authentication.
Currently, we have the id/password hardcoded in esql. We want to avoid storing the password in clear text form, and also we should be able to change the password easily if needed.
We would like to externalize the password (we can use the Get Environments plugin), but we dont want to store the password in clear text format, but encrypt it somehow.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
We are using Broker v5.9.
Thanks! |

There is no broker with v.5.9. 
I am not sure how to encrypt the password. You can also send the authentication information(user id/ password) in the message itself and not hardcoding in the message flow.
Thanks. |

I think you probably mean V5 broker with fix pack 9. In V5 there is no native support for HTTPS so you can not use HTTPS and then send usrid/pwd in the HTTP message itself. The only option I can think of is to do password lookup from a databse Table. You can lookup the table from message flow. Restrict the access to DB so only admin can access it change pwd as required.
