Retrieve password from Promptset

[Didjit86]

Hi,

I have this almost working, but I can't figure out how to decript a Promptset password to be used in a python script. Snippit below, USERNAME passes in fine, stuck on password and token, which are obfuscated in the Promptset. 

:BEGIN_EXT_INT PYTHON

import os
import sys
import subprocess

# Get the environment variables passed from Automic
username = "&USERNAME#"
password = "&PASSWORD#"
token = "&TOKEN#"

Any ideas? Sorry if this is trivial, bit new to Automic. All my googles have failed me. Thanks!

Hi, Narasimha Gudi  , I tried you suggestion and immediatly "get Variable '--102CBDA99592F74E20' not found." , which looks like the encrypted value. 

For some reason, I cannot reply to the thread, annoying.

Hi,

Assuming you are passing values from promptset using a variable, here's the block of Automic AE script that you can include:

:SET &HND#=PREP_PROCESS_VAR(VARA.YOUR_VARIABLE)

:PROCESS &HND#

:PSET &VC# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,1)

:PSET &PASSWORD# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,2)

:PRINT "&VC# &PASSWORD#"

:ENDPROCESS

:CLOSE_PROCESS &HND#

You can later use the password in your Python script by calling the variable "&PASSWORD#".

Use this in the Pre-Process tab. Once done adding this block, you can click on "More" drop down menu and select "Reformat All" to reformat the script with proper indentation.

Hi @Didjit86

you can also use a module that comes with the ITPA Shared Action Pack.

Sample

!Get encrypted token value
:SET &UC4RB_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD_TMP#="&PW_FROM_PROMPT#"
:INCLUDE PCK.ITPA_SHARED.PRV.INCLUDE.DECRYPT_PASSWORD
:SET &PW_CLEAR# = "$UC4_DECRYPTED_PWD"


There might be some adoptions needed when using it with Python

Hope this helps

Part of the issue you are running into is because you are using a python interpreter but you need Automics to convert the password.

First I would rewrite this to be a python script, such as myscript.py and have it accept arguments being passed in, those will be the username, password and token. You would need to call it via &UC_JOBMD CMD

Example process tab

&UC_JOBMD CMD="python myscript.py &USERNAME# &PASSWORD# &TOKEN#"

Example script contents for myscript.py

import os
import sys
import subprocess

uid = int(sys.argv[1])
pwd= int(sys.argv[2])
tkn= int(sys.argv[3])
print ("uid is the username, pwd is the password, tkn is the token")
