How I found the problem:

I’ve already tried:
first error I get is “cannot find module ‘crypto’”
I have tried to use crypto-js, this then kick an error that crypto.createHash(‘sha256’) is not a function

I then use crypto.SHA256 to fix that and then i get a “hash.update is not a function”

not totally up to speed with the crypto.js library so it could just be my approach is all wrong.

Thanks for your post, and sorry we didn’t get to this sooner. This isn’t the experience we want for our users.

An example of something that could be used:

async function generateSHA256Hash(message) {
    const encoder = new TextEncoder();
    const data = encoder.encode(message);
    const hashBuffer = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', data);
    const hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));
    const hashHex = hashArray.map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
    return hashHex;
}

async function getToken() {
    const timestamp = (Date.now() / 1000 | 0).toString();
    const userNonce = pm.globals.get('usernonce');
    const userKey = pm.globals.get('userkey');
    const integrationIdentifier = '';

    const toHash = `${timestamp}:${userKey}`;
    const encrypted = await generateSHA256Hash(toHash);

    const authToken = integrationIdentifier.length > 0
        ? `${userNonce}:${timestamp}:${encrypted}:${integrationIdentifier}`
        : `${userNonce}:${timestamp}:${encrypted}`;

    pm.globals.set("authtoken", authToken);
    console.log(authToken);
}

// Call the async function
getToken();
