Requirement:-
We don’t want to share our application(say Oracle database) login password , but rather encrypt it and while using the SQL query we need it to be decrypted at runtime.
Solution:-
Firstly we will Encrypt the password and then decrypt it.
Encryption:-
Approach 1:-
Using Crypt utlity Object.
Method used :- Encrypt

Decryption:-
Now we have the encrypted password, we need it to be decrypted before we can utilize in our SQL query connection string.
Hint:- For decrypting the password UFT, internally uses the “SetSecure” method, which automatically decrypt it .So we will leverage this approach to achieve the decryption.
