Hi
Does anyone know if and how a password can be hidden in the ASA backup configuration file. Password is mask doing "show running-config on the box itself"
We are using Firewpower Appliance an the ASDM on it.
Best regards

How to configure Master Passphrase on ASA

Hi
Interesting Link but i just would like to have the password mask when I save the running-config via scp: or when i make a backup within ASDM.
And i have to make an addition. The only Password wich is in plain text is the "ldap-login-password"

I am not aware of something where you extract the configuration and it mask it. unless you do the master password as mentioned in previous post. Is your backup server is not secure? Just thinking you can zip the configuration with AES encryption.

Sorry I did not notice you mentined the Password for LDAP is showing in plain text. you can run this command this will encrypt the password "password-encryption aes"
The password encryption aes command enables password encryption and encrypts all user passwords

hi everybody.
I had again some time to troubleshoot. Even after the input of password encryption aes nothing has changed.
When I view the backup file on my computer in notepad, the ldap-login password is displayed in plain text. It looks like there is no way to mask it.
In the ASA with show run it is masked.

it bug did you check link I share ?

Is is not that bug. in show-run on the box the password is masked.
In the config-file wich i backuped it is in clerartext.

Hi Everybody
Is anyone able to test this in the own environment.
The Problem is when I backup the configuration file with copy running-config scp......
The configuration file on the SCP server shows the LDAP password in cleartext.
