4.0 connections.xml encryption decryption

darkmatterApr 3 2014 — edited Apr 4 2014

The encryption method has changed from 3.x to 4.0.  We distribute a connections.xml file for all our developers to use that has access to the many schemas under multiple environments.  We had a script that decrypts the 3.x passwords but now 4.0 has changed that.  Does anyone have any idea how to decrypt 4.0 passwords stored in the connections.xml file.  I have tried the extension showmepassword which actually performs the decryption but I can't seem to make a simple function that actually does the decrypt.  Thanks.
