Password recovery for the VPN Group Authentication password

[frankie_sky]

Hi all,

I have a case to migrate the VPN Concentrator to ASA Firewall but i have forgotten the Group Authentication Password, Is there any way / tools to recover back the password?

I understand that you need to view the Group password, below are the steps on how to do this.

1. For the VPN 3030 concentrator go to "Administration | Access Rights | Access Settings" an for the "Config File Encryption" select "None" and apply the change. Then go "Administration | File Management" and "View" the Config file, do a search for the

Groupname, below the Groupname you will see the password.

2. For the PIX firewall you will need to TFTP the config over to a Server and view it from there, the password should be unencrypted.

For the ASA:

more system:running-config

This will only work for the passwords in the tunnel group.

The xauth credentials cannot be unencrypted.
