Hide / encrypt password in paramter cube

Post by Mark2007 »

Hi there,
I need to drive an Export and have to copy the exportfile to a ftp-Server. therefore, I have a ftp-user and a ftp-Passwort. I tend to write both to my parametercube, where I store all parameters as paths, adresses etc.

Is there a possibility not to write the Password in clear letters to this (or another) cube, so that it can not be read, but to encrypt it in any way?

Thanks in advance!

What about using cube security instead of encryption ?
Much easier.
