"Maybe" there's a hidden Cisco command to achieve this, which I'm not aware off.</P><P></P><P></P><P></P><P>P/S: If you think this comment is useful, please do rate them nicely <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 29 Jul 2012 02:54:18 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/fwsm-shows-snmp-string-tacacs-key-in-clear-text/m-p/1966946#M440894 Ramraj Sivagnanam Sivajanam 2012-07-29T02:54:18Z FWSM shows snmp string & tacacs key in clear text https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/fwsm-shows-snmp-string-tacacs-key-in-clear-text/m-p/1966947#M440895 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Samarjit,</P><P></P><P>Please do check to have service password-encryption enabled in your device.</P><P></P><P>As far as i know for snmp you are not giving any key.... you give only the string which will not get encrypted. If you have enabled the service password-encryption in your device. Then your tacacs key will get encrypted to level 7 encrption automatically. Else it will take 0 by default with plain text. But this also even it will not do md5 encryption for those password.</P><P></P><P>Please do rate if the given information helps.</P><P></P><P>By</P><P></P><P>Karthik</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 29 Jul 2012 05:37:28 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/fwsm-shows-snmp-string-tacacs-key-in-clear-text/m-p/1966947#M440895 nkarthikeyan 2012-07-29T05:37:28Z Re: FWSM shows snmp string & tacacs key in clear text https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/fwsm-shows-snmp-string-tacacs-key-in-clear-text/m-p/1966948#M440896 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>That does not work on Firewalls ASA or FWSM</P><P></P><P>I am also running currently with 4.1(8) version ...
