Pix 7.0 passwords..

[rpaquin]

ok, Am I missing something or if I do a:

username [name] password [password] encryped priv 15

from the ssh session.

when i go back and look at the run, I shouldn't be able to see the passwords correct? ie the encryped command..

because i can, I'm wondering if I'm missing something here.

If i do it from ASDM and apply it then they show up encrypted but not if i do it from command line.

thanks!

Syntax is:

username username {[{nopassword | password password} [encrypted]] [privilege level]}

so for the user "foo" with password "bar" with priv 15 type:

username foo password bar priv 15

The word "encrypted" says to the pix that you are supplying the password ALREADY encrypted :)

ahhhh ok... knew i was missing something..

according to the command reference manual :

encrypted - indicates that the password is encrypted.

should say "already" encrypted when provided.

poor symantics on that one.
