Description
Current Situation
- Users report that a % character encrypted to a value of a Job Resource variable is not properly decrypted.
- Users have to double the "%" otherwise the character is not present anymore when I decrypt the password with js7-decrypt.cmd.
- The issue occurs for Windows when using the js7-encrypt.cmd script. The % characeter has a special meaning in Windows and is substituted before encryption can occuur.
Desired Behavior
- Encryption/Decryption should support any Unicode characters.
Maintainer Notes
- The issue is dismissed as it is a limitation of the Windows Shell. JS7 classes for encryption/decryption process any Unicode characters, including %.
- Users of a Windows Platform find a PowerShell cmdlet that is not affected by Windows Shell limitations. Recommendations and examples are available from the JS7 - How to encrypt and decrypt using PowerShell article.
