slx_RWPass() returns single hex digit Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm trying to fetch the RWPass for our SLX database using javascript and ActiveX inside of a HTML application (.hta). I'm able to successfully connect to the database, but when I try to get the RWPass I get a (seemingly) random hex digit.

Here's my code: http://pastey.net/82683-vo9k

Here's the output (Username, pass, db stripped):

Trying to connect with string : Provider=SLXOLEDB.1

ersist Security Info=False;User ID=

assword="";Initial Catalog=;Data Source=SLX01;Extended Properties="PORT=1706;LOG=ON;CASEINSENSITIVEFIND=ON;AUTOINCBATCHSIZE=1;"
SLX Database opened!
Record opened!
I think the (encrypted) RWPass is : 24
Record opened!
I think the (encrypted) RWPass is : 4F
Record opened!
I think the (encrypted) RWPass is : 0B
Record opened!
I think the (encrypted) RWPass is : 88
Record opened!
I think the (encrypted) RWPass is : 50

edit:

Forgot to mention.. I've seen a few other posts on the internet with the same issue, but no resolution. The user I am using is not "Admin" as I see in the examples (I do not have access to that account). Is that what is causing the problem? Are these error codes of some sort?

Thanks for the help.

It *is* encrypted. You have to use a COM library that is installed with SLX called SLXRWEL.

Take a look at this article for an example: http://www.slxdeveloper.com/page.aspx?action=viewarticle&articleid=34

And another here: http://saleslogixblog.com/rfarley/archive/2004/02/10/328.aspx

Hey, thanks. I knew the pass would be returned encrypted. I was just expecting it to be a consistent encrypted value. It was puzzling to me that it was a "random" hex digit. I whipped up the decrypt routine pretty quick thanks to that second link, and it returns nothing. I'm gonna go with the notion that there is no RWPass set/required in order to work with the db.

Do I still need to specify RWPass in the connection string (RWPass="") ?

Thanks for your help.
