Storing Passwords
Normally the password for a user is only stored as a cryptographic hash, which is the
recommended way to handle passwords on devices. Unfortunately the SNMP imple-
mentation makes it mandatory to store the password on the device unencrypted.
Make sure to grant access rights to your users in a restrictive manner.
Remote Authentication
A RADIUS server can be used for authenticating remote users. This applies for the Web Manager, the
WLAN network and other services supporting and incorporating remote authentication.
