Decrypt a password sent by HTTP_SCRAMBLE?

Former Member

Hi,

I am currently setting up an FTP RFC server. I need to implement the function module FTP_CONNECT in my function repository. However, I am receiving the password parameter scrambled by HTTP_SCRAMBLE. Is there a way to unscramble it? What kind of algorithm is used? I am implementing the RFC server in Java with JCO so I will be unscrambling the password in Java.

Thanks in advance!

It should be impossible because I guess it's a hashing!

Well that is not entirely logical. Why would SAP send me a password for the FTP server, which I cannot reverse? Whoever implements FTP_CONNECT should be able to connect to the FTP server using the credentials given.

What kind of algorithm is used? --> Look at the source

Is there a way to unscramble it? --> Reverse the logic
