Thank you for your response Clément!
(Sorry if this is duplicate. Just trying to keep the message in the mailing
list.)
I’ve looked at those two pages for a long time before sending the message to
the list. And because I’m so new to this, I don’t understand how to do it.
I’ll try to make my questions very specific so I don’t waste your time.
1. Where should these lines be placed? Do they go in lsc.xml? Are they part
of a task? A dataset? Since the examples don’t show these lines in context, I
don’t know where to put them.
2. If I use the Hash rule as shown in the example:
SecurityUtils.hash(SecurityUtils.HASH_SHA1, "phrase to hash”)
How do I tell it to do this operation on the existing plain text value that is
in the database source? I understand how this line works with a single
unchanging “phrase to hash”, but not with an existing source value from a
database record. I’m guessing it will be a srcBean of some configuration?
3. In the example box for Symmetric Encryption there are two lines:
SecurityUtils.encrypt("something secret")
SecurityUtils.decrypt(srcBean.getDatasetFirstValueById("encryptedAttribute"))
Are these two different examples, or must they be used together?
4. When pulling a source plaintext value from a database, what types of values
would replace:
“something secret” and “encryptedAttribute” ?
I’m sorry that I don’t have experience with Java or programming. Thank you for
helping such a beginner with LSC!
