Issue/Introduction

In DX UIM, hub and data_engine passwords are encrypted automatically and they use different encryption algorithm. 

  • What are the encryption methods used for these 2 probes?
  • Is it possible to replicate that encryption in a powershell script? Is there a module or procedure that can be used? 

Environment

DX UIM 23.4.*

Cause

Enhancement

Resolution

  • Hub uses AES256 and data_engine uses TWO_FISH encryption. 
  • Currently (DX UIM 23.4.*) hub and data_engine do not support encryption via callback
