Standard Encryption method

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I am using the SAP R/3 4.7 Version. I need to encrypt password using standard algorithms .

I have tried function modiule FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT , VRM_COMPUTE_MD5 , MD5_CALCULATE_HASH_FOR_CHAR but that doesn't meet my requirement .

Would like to know if there is any function module or method that uses the standard encryption algorithm like 3DES , BlowFish , TwoFish , DES, MD5 , RC2 , Rijndael or SHA.

Regards ,

How? For Blowfish?

Hi Nair,

Actually I really would like to know how you resolved it, since I am using same SAP version and the FM´s do not work. Actually there is an abap error inside FM : FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT, in perform encrypt_password, in FORM character_search . If you correct this by adding the following line :

• describe field im_string length l_length.

L_LENGTH = STRLEN( IM_STRING ).

Then FM FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT starts encripting without errors but FM FIEB_PASSWORD_DECRYPT does not completely works as expected, since some letters are not decrypted right.

So, it is a standard abap error and yet I did not sent a note so SAP asking for them to resolve this (I did not found any SAP Note in OSS System either).

Any light on this?, please !

Hey Binoj,

how did you solve this demand? Did you find any other encryption algorithm?

Thanks a lot,
