Hashing of Management User Password
All the management user passwords can be stored and displayed as hash instead of plain
text. Hashed passwords are more secure as they cannot be converted back to plain text
format.
This setting is enabled by default on factory reset APs running Version 6.5.1.0-4.3.1
onwards, and is applicable to all APs in the cluster.
Hashing of the management user password can be configured by using either the
SCALANCE W UI or the CLI.
In the SCALANCE W UI
To set the management password in hash format:
1.
Navigate to System > Admin.
2.
Click the show advanced options link.
3.
Select the Hash Management Password check box. This will enable the hashing of the
management user password.
The check box will appear grayed out after this setting is enabled, as this setting cannot be
reversed.
