Help
1

Hello !

I have created user id and password and saved it in config file.
I need to enter the password in “Type Secure Text”

Application throws error "Value of the string can not be converted into sysyem.security.secureString

it seems I need to convert the string into securestring. Please suggest …
For now I am trying to hard code password and pass it to secure string. PFA
Note : I don’t want to fetch credentials from Orchestrator.

@Meera_Mahajan - pls use this

using Assign activity -
PS = (new System.Net.NetworkCredential(“”,PASSWORDVARIABLE)).SecurePassword

replace PASSWORDVARIABLE with your password text/variable

I tried it and it still shows validation error … am I missing anything ?

PS – (New System.Net.NetworkCredential(“”,“abcabcabc”)).SecurePassword
