pub.security:generateHashValue
WmPublic. Returns the hashed value for a string input.
Input Parameters
inputString | String. The string that you want to convert to a hash value. |
hashAlgorithm | String. Optional. The algorithm to generate the hash value. Select one of the following:  MD5 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512 The default value is SHA256. |
saltValue | byte[ ]. Optional. A random value that you can prefix to the input string before hashing. Note:
To use a salt value in this service, run the pub.security:generateSalt service and map the generated salt value to this parameter. |
Output Parameters
hashedValue | String. Hashed value of the input string. |
status | String. Indicates whether the inputString is successfully hashed or not. If successful, status is success. Otherwise, status contains failure along with an error message. |
Usage Notes
Use the pub.security:generateHashValue service to generate a hash value for any input string. For example, you can create a secure hashedValue for a user's password. Additionally, you can run the pub.security:generateSalt service to generate a salt value, which can be passed to the pub.security:generateHashValue service to generate a unique and stronger hashedValue, each time you run the pub.security:generateHashValue service.
