Encrypt/Decrypt using Groovy

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

Hi,

       I have a doubt here. This code encrypts but doesn't decrypt. Instead I get the encrypted string back from the decrypt function. Does it need state to be maintained between these two functions ?

Thanks,

Mohan

def encrypt(server ):

    value = server.run_script("""

    secret = hudson.util.Secret.fromString("Password")

    println secret.getEncryptedValue()

    """)

    print (value)

def decrypt(server ):

    decryptedvalue = server.run_script("""

    secret = hudson.util.Secret.fromString("zPc9cFNDcj8RuRIKigYfsTQMiuCrv1lO+Y5qqJXc6RQ=")

    println secret.getPlainText()

    """)

    return decryptedvalue

Instead of getPlainText(), try hudson.util.Secret.toString(secret)

If that doesn't work, then try printing both the encrypted value and
the plain text from the `secret` object in the encrypt method... if it
gives the result you expect, then yes, there seems to be an issue with
state. It might not be picking the right crypto algorithm if you're
doing this across different JVMs, for example.

I tried that. It didn't work.

Probably when I call from an external Python script there is not state ?
