Welcome to my first “Free Flow Friday!” Once a month, I will try and build and application and post it here for your viewing and learning pleasures.
This application was created somewhat because of this post but I honestly wanted to learn more about the power of Novacura’s REST Connector and how to use C#.
Prerequisites:
You need two connectors: File System and REST Connector.
Guide:
- For file system, you need to setup a “Logs” folder inside/next to your Novacura installation folder i.e. “C:\Novacura\Novacura Flow\Logs”
- Create REST Connector using “Hash Generator.json” and then “Hash Generator v0.2.ncrcp”
- YOU MUST enable logging for outgoing requests
- The path is the same as step 1
- Re-enter the REST Connector Project, go to Model transformations, Setup usings
- Add “using System.Security.Cryptography;” to very end
- Click OK
- Create/update connector then Save
- Import the “Create Hashes.flow”
- There is an assignment step named “Defaults”, in it is a variable called “LogPath” that you must change to the same path as steps 1 and 4
- Here is the result for hashing “password”:
