Encrypting username and password applet parameters

Top  Previous  Next

You may encrypt the username and password parameters by passing the encrypt applet parameter with a value of true and the base64 encoded versions of the username and password parameters to the applet.

 

Example

 

<param name="encrypt" value="true">

<param name="username" value="anNtaXRo">

<param name="password" value="c2VjcmV0">

 

The above example demonstrates this setting using HTML applet parameters.

 

Example

 

encrypt = true

username = anNtaXRo

password = c2VjcmV0

 

The above example demonstrates this setting loading applet parameters from the params.txt file.

 

Note

 

The level of encryption provided uses a simple base64 encoding method.  User credentials encoded using the base64 encoding algorithm can be easily decoded using a base64 decoder and should not be considered secure.
