Compress and encrypt text in load skript

Jaeger — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 08:47:43 GMT

Hi, in load skript I create a link with some parameters e.g. customerId, date, storeId, etc..
The link is used in a straigt table to jump to an Qlik-external details webpage.
I don't want the link to show the parameters. So I thought there may be a way to encrypt the parameters of the link (e.g. JWT) or compress it, because it is quite long.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You could hash the by using hash256(linkfield).

I wonder if I can get back the unhashed value inside the target web application (with .Net Framework 4.8.1).

hash256() is one way so you could not recover the value in the webapp. Instead you could do something like Base64 encoding. Search "qlik base64 script" for some example script.
