Hi @Sai_Kumar_111

You have declared the PWD as string, and if you are using Get credentials, then the Password is of Type SecureString not the String

If you want to convert that SecureString to a String then you can use Assign activity and declare another String type variable as below

strPassword = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(string.Empty, PWD).Password

Then you can use strPassword in to TypeInto

But you can use TypeInto Secure Password also without converting

Hope this may help you

Thanks,
Srini

Hi

Use assign activity
Before you are passing the value in the ACME activity

str= new system.net.networkcredentials(string.empty,yourstringvariable).password

Cheers

@Sai_Kumar_111

as the argument which you have created while developing the ACME library having password as Securestring

so you need to change either the datatype of it while using or you can use above mentioned expression to change secure string to string

cheers
