How to decrypt encrypted/masked password used in the global variable in TIBCO

The password encryption in the global variable level is done by adding the variable in the GV by editing the GV and typing a value for it and setting the data type as ‘Password’.

This will do the encryption of the password and makes it as masked password (visible as Asterisk (****)).

By doing this we can secure the password information’s from the users.

In case we need to decrypt the password, then we need to follow the below steps.

Step 1: If this example, GV named 'pwdtest' and its data type is Password ,So then its value displays as Asterisk only.

Step 2: create a business process in designer and drop the Java Code Activity. Define an output parameter in the configuration tab and update the below code in it.

String password = com.tibco.pe.plugin.PluginProperties.getProperty("tibco.clientVar.pwdtest");
out=password;

If you have a tree structure where the password is mentioned,

then update the code as,

String password =   com.tibco.pe.plugin.PluginProperties.getProperty("tibco.clientVar.CONNECTION/HTTP/Host");

  out=password;

Step 3: save and compile the JAVA code.

Step 4: run this process we can get the decrypted password value in Output parameter.

JAVA code with full class:

package test;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import com.tibco.security.ObfuscationEngine;
import com.tibco.*;
public class testJavaCode{
/****** START SET/GET METHOD, DO NOT MODIFY *****/
 protected String out = "";
 public String getout() {
  return out;
 }
 public void setout(String val) {
  out = val;
 }
/****** END SET/GET METHOD, DO NOT MODIFY *****/
 public testJavaCode() {
 }
 public void invoke() throws Exception {
/* Available Variables: DO NOT MODIFY
 Out : String out
* Available Variables: DO NOT MODIFY *****/
String password =   com.tibco.pe.plugin.PluginProperties.getProperty("tibco.clientVar.pwdtest");
 out=password;

}
