Hi abdulrazak,

as you might realized, each time you save config backup, those passwords (set secret ..) changes the strings.

That's because those are salted and then encrypted to protect those exactly against what you are trying to achieve .. clear text password retrieval from encrypted form.

AFAIK it should not be possible.

You need to 1> record the private-key passphrase 2> store it in a secure spot

You will not be able to retrieve any password/secrer/passphrase from a FGT.con file

Thanks,

What if i created csr in my fortigate device and made it CA signed, so that i can use it as trusted certificate. That time i need private key and password additionally to add this certificate to another unit, how i will get this password?. I have to use this certificate for ssl inspection. If i add it in the same device in which i created csr, it is added in local certificate, but ssl inspection drop-menu have only local CA certificate. So i need to add this certificate as local CA certificate. kindly suggest one solution
