Encrypted Queue not Encrypting Specific Content

Help Orchestrator

Currently, none of the processes we are automating in my organization pass any data that requires encryption. However some of the things we are currently examining from our backlog will, so I have been doing some testing with the encrypted queues functionality in Orchestrator.

I setup a test queue with the Encrypted option enabled.

I then manually uploaded a test queue item to this queue containing a made-up username and password -

However, contrary to what the UI and documentation states (that transaction details will not be visible in the UI for encrypted queues), all of the content of this queue item is directly displayed in plain text -

Additionally, I am able to retrieve that data via the Robot as a simple string from the specific content, without any decryption or as a secure string -

This isn’t how I expected an encrypted queue to behave from how the functionality is described in the Orchestrator documentation. Is this how this should be behaving, and if not do I need to do any additional configuration to make it actually encrypt? Thanks!

I believe you misread the document…on ui it would be visible encryption would be only at db level…

If you want to encrypt data then try using crypto activities and then encrypt and add data and after retrieving deceypt it…or add only a unique identifier to queue and store the data else where amd retrieve in performer
