I am not sure whether I really want what you have asked. But I have to pass the REAL password to my application because it will never recognize a crypted password. BTW, I am logging to my application with my Active Directory Account and hence I am providing the my AD password in clear text format in my script. So I wanted not to write it in clear text and rather have it in the encrypted form and then decrypt it on the fly every time the script runs. THis is the reason I need a decryption mechanism.

Please do let me know if am thinking in wrong direction.
