How to do hashing for specific values?

From what i understood that hashing can include specific value based on what i want to hash. Also you can't decrypit it.

For example:

if i selected multiple sales orders (salesId =1,2 and 3) using user x ( i want to do specific hashing for those) and from what i understood if i click those sales Ids again i will get the same hashing value.

But if i choose different ones i'll get a new value. So the hashing is going to take sales ids and user i'm standing on to make a unique hashed value.

So when i multi select those sales Ids and click a customized button that does the hashing, how can i do hashing based on an array of sales Ids and the user i'm standing on?

I have the same question (0)

Just collect all the sales ids and current user id into one string, and hash it.

Hi D365FO user,

There is a "HashFunctions" class used for this purpose. But you need to convert your array to a string value before you can get hash.

Out of interest, what is the requirement to use a hash? Could you, provide a use case?

You can refer DimensionAttributeSetStorage Class methods DimensionAttributeSetStorage::getHash Method and explore this class to perform more functionality.

Hi,

I used multiselection helper class and added the records i'm standing on in a list.

Then i used the code in this article "360dynamics.blogspot.com/.../ax-2012-calculating-hash-value-of.html" i passed the list to the method shown in the article then i converted the values from the list to a string and used the code to do the hashing.

I couldn't find a class called HashFucntions and how i'm going to use the dimensionAttributeSetStorage instead of what i did?

Sergie, an example for hashing, is that when calling an API, i wanted to replace a certain value in the Service URL with a hashed value that the recipient will understand and act accordingly if he saw that specific hash value.

Hi,

Maybe HashFunctions class was added recently (at least I see it in 10.0.8). And by the way, you have a typo in class name in the last message.

The only difference I see that,

HashFunctions uses Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Hashing

DimensionAttributeSetStorage (DimensionHash) uses Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Fim.Dimensions.Hash

AX2012 article uses .net implementation System.Security.Cryptography

Most likely all hashing functions from "Dynamics" namespace utilize .net System.Security.Cryptography library.

But do you still have some issues?
