How to create encrypted(password protect) ZIP file in Boomi

Few months back, we had a requirement to create encrypted (password protected) zip file and email it to specific recipients. When working on the integration, we understood that Boomi currently don't support Zip Encryption with Password.

Upon more analysis, we learned about a third party library Zip4j which has comprehensive features for Zip encryption and could be used in Boomi integration.

We will go through the steps to understand how a Boomi Process can create a password protected zip file.
