| [SOLVED] Encrypt a focexec? | Login/Join |
| Virtuoso |
I know years ago (like, Client Server Focus version 3.x) you could encrypt a focexec on the drive in order to hide sensitive content inside it. I'd like to map a network drive with a specific userid and password, and I'd like that DOS command to be in an encrypted focexec. Is there a way to do that? I did a search on Encrypt Focexec and got no results here, but I figure I must not be the first to ask.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,  | ||

John I tried this with 8206 and it worked fine. To encrypt a file you can use this syntax within a FOCEXEC: SET PASS = password (password that allows for decryption) ENCRYPT FILE filename FOCEXEC Alternatively, to decrypt the file you can use this syntax: SET PASS = password (password that allows for decryption) DECRYPT FILE filename FOCEXEC In my case I am logged into the reporting server console as srvadmin so I used that as the password Thank you for using Focal Point!

Recommendation: If you are encrypting your fex, and have paranoia issues like me, I would suggest you also handle execution output as well. This code will stop the output.
-SET &ECHO_BK=&ECHO ;
-SET &ECHO=OFF;
SET MSG=OFF, EMGSRV=OFF
-RUN
{your code}
-SET &ECHO=&ECHO_BK;
SET MSG=ON, EMGSRV=ON
-RUN

FYI - The only message I got back was that the file was encrypted or decrypted. Thank you for using Focal Point! Chuck Wolff - Focal Point Moderator WebFOCUS 7x and 8x, Windows, Linux All output Formats | |||

Hi Chuck, Waz means to stop someone from listing the encrypted focexec by using -SET &ECHO=ALL;  T
