Encrypting files using openssl in Alteryx

I have a task to encrypt files using openssl commands in Alteryx.I am able to encrypt the files using openssl through command line.

Using the run command tool I am able to open "openssl" but no further commands can be passed after that.

are you using a .bat file? What's in your .bat file? what happens when you run the .bat file outside of Alteryx.

 

Start by getting your .bat file/CLI commands right outside of Alteryx -then work to recreate in Run command.

Hi @maaz 

 

Build your entire openSSL string on a single line.  To encrypt a file the line would look like 

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -iter 1000 -salt -in primes.dat -out primes.enc -pass pass:somepassword

check Command_Line_Utilities for more options
