You can use the automation API to encrypt data that you send from a custom application to the ECC queue and prevent that data from appearing in clear text. For example, you can encrypt a password used by a MID Server to authenticate on a REST endpoint.

Methods

var automation_api = new sn_automation.AutomationAPI();
var password = ‘xyz';
var encrypted_password;
if (automation_api.isEncrypted(password))
    encrypted_password = password;
else 
    encrypted_password = automation_api.encrypt(password);

The encrypted_password value can then be passed safely to the ECC Queue and on to the desired MID Server.
