FGT: configuration passwords in clear text if required (lost)? configuration only shows encrypted passwords

[pat_wei]

Hi,

In our environment many times changes are done and many people forget what kind of passwords were used during configuration, maybe because they used temporary passwords for tests and then never switched back.

Can the configuration passwords, for pre-shared keys, HA ... be retrieved from the running FGT?

With Cisco you do a more startup-config, how about FGT?

Hi,

See if that helps.

Hi,

No, does not help, as we are not looking for the admin password, but for the pre-shared secrets and other passwords.

You can't find the passwords from configuration backup files  or viewing configurations from CLI.

That's a good thing:)
