Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71+

POP3 Login Secure

Demonstrates how to set the POP3 password using a secure string. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local mailman = chilkat.MailMan.new()

-- Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
-- that contains this:

-- {
--   "pop3_login": "D7lnlWY291LKMeChlvQq7N/Tg7ieuSB15a+9Ekyd0R4=",
--   "pop3_password": "5neIq9Jmn0E3p71N6Yc8TA=="
-- }

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:load_file("qa_data/passwords/pop3.json")

local crypt = chilkat.Crypt2.new()

-- These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
crypt.crypt_algorithm = "aes"
crypt.cipher_mode = "cbc"

crypt:set_encoded_key("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F", "hex")

local ssLogin = chilkat.SecureString.new()
local ssPassword = chilkat.SecureString.new()

-- Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
-- a randomly generated session key.)
crypt:decrypt_secure_enc(json:string_of("pop3_login"), ssLogin)
crypt:decrypt_secure_enc(json:string_of("pop3_password"), ssPassword)

-- Set the POP3 domain, login, and password
