Default Password Obscured Display

By default, the device displays passwords obscured (encrypted) instead of in plain text in downloaded CLI Script and ini files and in the output of the CLI command show running-config.

Obscured passwords are displayed encoded in the following syntax:

■

ini File: $1$<obscured password>

For example:

WSTunPassword = $1$tIWHhYONjw==

■

CLI Script File: <obscured password>== obscured

For example:

 password tIWHhYONjw== obscured
