Depending on the integrated system, we need to store certain login information in ADvendio in order to grab data from or push data to these systems. In the past, this meant, that all users with direct access to the connection objects, can see these this information. With By adding the encryption, we can make sure, that ADvendio can still access all external systems, but nobody within your Salesforce Org will be able to copy and paste these login credentials.

...

So what does this mean for you or your System Administrator?

First of all, not much will change. You can access the Connect-related features like submitting a campaign or getting delivery data as usual. Also with the installation of Version 2.130 or higher, your saved credentials will automatically be encrypted. There is no further steps you need to do.

...

This might also happen if only a single one of your connections is not properly encrpytedencrypted.

What can you do?

  • Go to each of your Connection and Additional Login records

  • Check the password and additional password fields for the password

  • The encryption string is always 100 digits long, so you should be able to identify if it’s already encrypted or if it’s your login password

  • For Google AdManager and Display & Video 360: Please use the “Generate Google OAuth Token” button to generate a new login token. During the guided process you will be asked to enter your Google Credentials once.

  • For Xandr, Equativ(Smart), Freewheel, Adswizz, Datorama and otherothers:

    • Copy the password / additional password that is currently entered

    • Empty out the password / additional password field in Salesforce and save the connection record.

    • Edit the fields again and paste in the password, which you previously copied. Once you click the save button, the encrypted credentials are saved.

  • Once done, use the check login button, to see if the connection works

...

As mentioned above, there a no further steps needed to be done. The encryption will take place automatically as soon you install the latest update of ADvendio.
