enable password on EEM

[Xiao Guai]

I'm going to configure EEM on Cisco router.

When I see show run after configuring EEM , I found out that the enable password is unencrypted on EEM settings.

Is there a any way to encrypt or hide the enable password on EEM settings when I see show run?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to encrypt or hide the enabled password within the EEM settings to prevent it from being visible in the show run output.

Hello,

the most you can do is:

show run | exclude password

which does not show the username/password lines at all.

Why you use enable password as clear text in eem in first place? Try use encrypt 7'8'9 

This make password hidden

You should not need to specify enable password at all in EEM and this clearly is a security issue due to exposure of enable password!

Simply configure "event manager applet <applet name> authorization bypass"
