When connection profiles are externalized to a profile store, the user has
the possibility to choose "Encrypt file content". When doing so, the Birt
Designer encrypts the connection details in the profile file.
Does anyone know, which encryption method is used?

I'd like to make a PHP-application write the profile file and use this
encryption method. The file should be encrypted in a way, that the Birt
Report engine can decrypt and read the file.

Thanks for your help!
Robert

Robert,

The encryption is configurable but uses the java crypto packages.
The default version has the key embedded in the plugin and is defined in
the DefaultCipherProvider class in the DTP projects
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity project. It is called by the
ConnectionProfileMgmt class in the same project. Are you using a
php->java bridge? If so you may be able to use similar code to write
these profiles.
