Password Encryption

Hi All,
I have been using SAHI since two weeks and its a wonderful tool. I just wanted a clarification regarding encrypting the password.

I mean to say is when testing an application with a login screen and consider that it is a windows login, the password text is also visible and is there any way that we can encrypt the password?

    Hi Krishnakumar,

    I think we need to do 2 things to make password not easily readable by others.
    1) Password should not be in the script where any one else can see it.
    2) Password should not be stored in logs.

    I think the best way right now, is to use a test username and password for the test machine which is constant and known to everyone. Unless the algorithm is built into Sahi, one can easily decrypt the password and see its value, because they will have access to both encrypt and decrypt functions.

    Hi Narayan,

    Thanks for your reply and I had one more doubt.

    Can Sahi be used for load testing??
    I need to test my web application for about 2-3 Lakhs of data and I want Sahi to be triggered from my code.

    Is it possible?

    Hi,
    I am wondering whether password encryption is implemented with version 3.5. Still i am seeing the clear text for passwords when entered the credentials through windows login screens. Could someone answer this question? Since i am new to SAHI and not a developer, would appreciate if someone could provide me the encryption code.

    Hi tsiva,

    The password encryption feature will be implemented in future releases of Sahi Pro.
