VM:Secure password Reverse encryption

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to decrypt a single user's password with REVERSE encryption?

Resolution

If using REVERSE encryption, we do have the VMXFEN03 utility that will decrypt, but it goes against the entire (live) database which would end up leaving you with decrypted passwords.  Currently, we don't have a utility to show encrypted passwords in plain text for an individual user.

Additional Information

Information specific to Installing REVERSE or FORWARD encryption is documented in the VM:Secure Rules Facility Guide.
