Using Parametertype GPEncryptedString for MS Exchange

Question

In my tool the user has to connect to a MS Exchange-Server. The value method of the GPEncryptedString-object doesn't return the password in plain text (I'm highly appreciate for this fact...). But how do I pass through the password to my function?

Thanks!

Suggest you look at GPStringHidden instead. The GPEncryptedString is only for Esri tools that can decrypt the string, such as the database connection tools.
