Encrypted Password in CBTA scripting

[Former Member]

Does anyone have any experience with encryption password in CBTA scripts?

We are scripting an approval process in Material Management, where the approval of a Material needs a Password to be entered.

We would not have the password in plain text in the script so how should we do it?

In the ‘Runtime Library and Default Components – CBTA 3.0’ it is suggest that we could use the ‘CBTA_GUI_PF_SetSecureText’ component for this. However an ‘QTP Password Encoder’ is needed for that. However we do not have/use HP QuickTest Professional, so what can we do – any suggestions?

Dear Lissie, 1) You do not need QTP installed to use this component - ‘CBTA_GUI_PF_SetSecureText’. 2) If you use this component in SAP TAO the password will be encrypted. 3) If you use this component with CBTA the pasword will NOT be encrypted. Regards, Paul

Dear Paul,

Thanks.

Though we cannot get it to work with clear text using the 'CBTA_GUI_PF_Set SecureText' components.

However we have solved it in another way and add the password in clear text using component 'CBTA_GUI_SETTEXT'

I just wonder why we cannot sue the SUT setup to put in a password. In the SUT we have the username and password, it would have been nice if we could get the CBTA to get the username and password from the SUT, to do the user signing in SAP
