Get reference from entry

[hba]

Hello,

I use the Reference in my keepass and I can't display the content.

Is there a way to follow, and display the reference directly ?

fmt.Println(entry.GetTitle())

return :

fmt.Println({REF:P@I:BE8116351FDF544E8BC5708C777E3E73})

thanks

Hi @hba,
I am not entirely sure which reference you are referring to.
If this is what your example returns, then that is what is defined as title and what is visible as entry title.

The value itself is stored in the values list

gokeepasslib/entry.go

Line 27 in ff48262

Values []ValueData `xml:"String,omitempty"`

in the entry:

gokeepasslib/entry.go

Line 112 in ff48262

type ValueData struct {

What specific keepass implementation are you using that returns this reference?

gokeepasslib is just a library which allows reading and writing keepass files. The goal is explicitly not to provide the convenience functions that a UI application would offer. That is up to the implementer to define how they would like their tool to behave.

Hi @tobischo,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I migrate a python application, in python I used this function:

https://github.com/libkeepass/pykeepass/blob/e0d86b6880bf96ff6873889c453cb3d2168c999a/pykeepass/pykeepass.py#L657

As of right now, that is not supported and you would have to parse and look the value behind it up yourself

I think I never used that feature in keepass itself, so in order to implement that I would need an example keepass file

here is an example with a keepass file with an entry "foo" which refers to a password "bar". I put the python example and the golang example:
