As Hamish said, this is possible, as long as you use a hardcoded key. Do not use [AES::key] command, as this generates a random key and the same key must be used to encrypt or decrypt. This is due to AES being a symmetric key encryption algorithm, meaning both sides need to use a shared key.

Does anyone know the syntax to decrypt data on say, a linux machine with openssl command? I am trying to do this as a proof of concept. Obviously we are using a pre shared key.
What cipher is it?
This does NOT work:
openssl aes-256-ecb -d -K MY_AES_256_KEY_HERE base64 -in MY_F5_Base64_encoded_aes256_string_here.txt -debug
