5.1.2.3 Differentiation Secure/Non-Secure Passwords
The selection of the secure password storage resides in the directory tree under
SICAM CMIC | Master module | Network settings | Security
(the checkbox Show all parameters must be activated).
All passwords can be stored in the target device in a secure manner. Thereto the passwords
are stored irreversibly encrypted in a location not accessible by unauthorized persons. This
applies for all protocols using a password for authentication, such as HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP.
Note
For secure password storage/https a CP-8000 hardware revision >= ***CC is required.
With the parameter Secure password storage you can select between non-secure or se-
cure password storage.
If the secure password storage is activated (Secure password storage is YES), the pa-
rameter HTTP/HTTPS must be HTTPS, otherwise a warning is generated in the diagnosis.
With the secure password storage, a password is masked behind 8 bullets, independently of
the real length of the password, even if no password was entered.
