How Do I Apply a Custom Encryption Algorithm to AgileForms Data?

Navigation

1. On the AgileForms Server machine, open the file [AgileForms Server installation folder]\Webroot\web.config

Instructions

1. Create a class library project in Visual Studio.
2. Add Ascentn.Workflow.Share in the assembly reference.
3. Create a class which implements the interface IEncryptDecrypt and the two methods in that interface which are Decrypt and Encrypt.

   using System;
   using System.Collections.Generic;
   using System.Linq;
   using System.Text;
   using Ascentn.Workflow.Base;
   
   namespace DataSecurityEncryptorDecryptor
   {
         public class security : IEncryptDecrypt
         {
             const string m_password = "pass@word1";
             #region IEncryptDecrypt Members
             public string Decrypt(string data)
             {
                 return ShUtil.Decrypt(m_password, data);
             }
             public string Encrypt(string data)
             {
                 return ShUtil.Encrypt(m_password, data);
             }
             #endregion
          }
   }

4. Build the project.
5. Copy your DLL file and place in the location: [AgileForms Server installation folder]\Webroot\bin.

   For example, DataSecurityEncryptorDecryptor.dll

   The DLL file name DataSecurityEncryptorDecryptor.dll depends on your project name.

6. Open the file [AgileForms Server installation folder]\Webroot\web.config.

   If custom DLL not present or the key does not exist in the web.config file, it uses a default AgilePoint encryption key.

7. In the text editor, add the following key to the appSettings node:

   Field Name

   Definition

   DataSecurity

   Definition: Specifies an encryption algorithm for AgileForms Data Security. This setting applies when Encrypt is selected for field level data security. Allowed Values: An appSettings key in the following format: <add key="DataSecurity" value="[DLL name], [namespace.classname]" /> Default Value: If this key is not added, the default AgilePoint encryption algorithm is used. Example: <add key="DataSecurity" value="DataSecurityEncryptorDecryptor,DataSecurityEncryptorDecryptor.Security" />
