Decrypt Usr Id and Pwd while making a call to XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a ASP.net application which calls XI using an HTML adapter.

While making a call to XI I need user ID and Pwd of the XI system to be passed, I now want to decrypt this user ID and pwd. I thought if i can generate a SAPLogon ticket through the ASP.net application, XI will be able to identify the user and authenticate it.

Now the problem is how to create this SAP Logon ticket. Can we create it ?

Or if there are any other ideas as to how can I encrypt the user Id and Pwd of the XI user, please let me know.

Regards,

Vivek

If you are asking how to decrypt an SAP password then you will not be able to get the answer.

Strangely enough each of the alogorithms used to encrypt the passwords before they are stored in the database are not public knowledge.

As your scenario was a little unclear I apologise if I misunderstood.

Hi Mark,

Let me explain.

I am making a call to XI using a HTML adapter. While making a call to XI I have to pass in my XI user name and Pwd.Anybody with a network sniffer can get to know my pwd in this scenario.

What I want is that I want to somehow decrypt this pwd or use SAP Login ticket mechanism an send it to HTML adapter in XI, XI should recognise it as a valid user and then do the necessary operations.
