Decrypting Management Reporter Data in SQL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mgandley 200

I'm looking to pull data from the Management Reporter DataMart for analysis.  As part of this data pull, I presumably need to decrypt the encrypted SQL data in Management Reporter's tables.  Can anyone help me figure out how this can be done using T-SQL?

For example, I'm trying to decrypt data in the CellData column of the ReportLineFinancial table.  I have tried the decryptbycert and decryptbykey functions on the binary version of that column (CAST([CellData] AS varbinary(4000))) and have yet been unsuccessful.  I'm not sure which certificate / key to use to do this.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

    So I was able to open the appropriate keys using the following SQL code, however I'm still unable to decrypt the data successfully.

    --Open Connector Service Symmetric Key
    OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY ConnectorServiceSymmetricKey
    DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE ConnectorServiceCertificate
    --Open General User Symmetric Key
    OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY GeneralUserSymmetricKey
    DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE GeneralUserCertificate
    --Doesn't decrypt the data, returns all null
    SELECT 
    CellData,
    CAST(CellData AS Binary(8000)) AS BinaryCellData,
    CAST(DECRYPTBYKEY(CAST(CellData AS Binary(8000))) AS Varchar(255)) AS Data
    FROM vReportLineFinancial
    --Close open symmetric encryption keys.
    CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY ConnectorServiceSymmetricKey
    CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY GeneralUserSymmetricKey

    Still looking for ideas if anyone has any.

    Matt,

    Have you considered deploying Dynamics GP Analysis Cubes as a source for the financial data, rather than Management Reporter?
