Preserving local database on ASA Firewall

[latenaite2011]

Does anyone know how to preserver the local database that contains the user credentials.  Migrating from off an old ASA to a new platform.

You only have to copy all the "username" commands to the new ASA. That's all.

Ok, how about the site-to-site tunnel's pre-shared key?  If I copy/aste the output of 'show run', will that pre-served the site-to-site's pre-shared key too?

[Rahul Govindan]

Nope. Pre-shared keys do not show up in the "show run" output. You have to do a "more system:running-config" to get the running config with pre-shared keys and aaa-servers keys showing in the clear.

Sounds good, thanks!  I thought just copying over might do that trick too but guess not, thanks!

It can't work as they are only shown as "*****" ...
