Is nlapiEncrypt really SHA-1?

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:06PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 5 comments

The NetSuite documentation says nlapiEncrypt performs a SHA-1 hash, however, when using nlapiEncrypt to hash a field value, I get a different value then what I would get using a online hash generator.

Example (hashing "1234"):
[INDENT]nlapiEncrypt gives me fcffee3dcb2083ed4da3f12e9422b2d3854b6a6a
www.fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm gives me 7110eda4d09e062aa5e4a390b0a572ac0d2c0220[/INDENT]

Am I losing my mind? Is nlapiEncrypt encoding it after the hash?

Need Help!
Thanks in advance!

Howdy, Stranger!
