      Hello,

      I would like to use the API to retrieve information about our equipment, including passwords.
      Using method cmdb.category.read to get category C__CATG__PASSWD returns a password field that seems to be the password encoded. However, I have not been able to identify the encoding. What kind of encoding is it? How should I decode a password obtained through API?

        Hello @fa__

        it sounds like you'll have to set the expert setting password.decrypt.in-export-import to 1.

        Best regards
        Leo

          Thank you @lfischer .
          That solved the issue, now the API returns the password decrypted.
