Wanted to create an analytic app to update password in indbc file

Dear Experts, 

I have a an .indbc file which I use for a file based In-Db connection. 

I have a requirement where, The password in the file needs to be changed once in a while. 

 

I am planning to build an Analytical app, which when ran, will prompt to enter the password, and when the password is enter it will generate the indbc connection for me. 

 

How do i achieve this ? I am mainly finding issues in encrypting the password and generating the .indbc file

I attached a sample .indbc file with this. Any help in creation of this app shall be highly regarded. Thanks

 

For example the below 

<InDBConnection>
<ConnectionType>Oracle</ConnectionType>
<IsNative>True</IsNative>
<DbToAlteryx>
<Connection>oci:USERNAME/__EncPwd1__@servername.com:1622/xyzyp</Connection>
<DecryptionAllowed>False</DecryptionAllowed>
<Passwords>402A79028C800EA11B773FAE692F6AD770112CD7E1BEB</Passwords>
<FormatSpecificOptions>
<ForceSqlWcharSupport>False</ForceSqlWcharSupport>
<TableStyle>Quoted</TableStyle>
</FormatSpecificOptions>
<Type>OracleOCI</Type>
</DbToAlteryx>
<AlteryxToDb OutputDriverSelection="Specified">
<Connection>oci:BS_1615384/__EncPwd1__@servername.com:1622/xyzyp</Connection>
<DecryptionAllowed>False</DecryptionAllowed>
<Passwords>402A79028C800EA11B773FAE692F6AD770112CD7E1BEB</Passwords>
<FormatSpecificOptions>
<TransactionSize>10000</TransactionSize>
<TransactionMessages>False</TransactionMessages>
<TableStyle>Quoted</TableStyle>
</FormatSpecificOptions>
<Type>OracleOCI</Type>
</AlteryxToDb>
</InDBConnection>

 

Thanks
