password fields in a configurable component: exactly how is it encoded? [message #1730859] Fri, 29 April 2016 10:52 Go to next message

I have a service that implements org.eclipse.kura.configuration.ConfigurableComponent. When the configuration is updated I get a call to the method I specified and the argument is a Map that contains all properties.

The content of password fields arrives as a string that appears to be Base64, but decoding it does not yield the original password. I'd like to know what exactly this string is.

Is it a non-decryptable hash? If yes, which? MD5? SHA-1?

Hi Ignacio,
the password field you get from the configuration service is AES-128 encrypted.
You need to perform a call to the crypto service to get it unencrypted.
Hope it helps.

Hi Marco,
after I get the Component password from the properties, I tried to apply all the available methods of the crypto service but I'm not able to obtain a plain password string.
Where am I wrong ? Could you give me an example how to unencrypt the password ?
Thanks in advance.
Bests
Fabrizio
