2.2.4.2 Encrypting Passwords in the Configuration File
Phone passwords used in the configuration process can be encrypted, for example, the
'System' password and the 'SIP Authentication' password.
To encrypt passwords:
1. At the command line prompt, specify the following:
encryption_tool.exe –s <password_string>
where <password_string> specifies the string of the password that you wish to
encrypt.
Once the password is encrypted, a string is generated with the following syntax:
{"<encrypted_string>"}
For example:
{"0qrNRpSJ6aE="}
2. Copy the generated string (including the {“ “}) with the syntax specified above to the
relevant parameter in the Configuration file.
For example, if you encrypted the SIP authentication password, the following is
displayed in the relevant line in the configuration file:
voip/line/0/auth_password={"0qrNRpSJ6aE="}
Note: It's recommended to encrypt the 'System' password using this procedure. If you
choose not to, the 'System' password is by default encrypted using MD5.
