Users Guide

Password obscuring masks the password and keys for display only but does not change the contents of the le.
The string of asterisks is the same length as the encrypted string for that line of conguration. To verify that you
have successfully obscured passwords and keys, use the show running-config command orshow
startup-config command.
If you are using role-based access control (RBAC), only the system administrator and security administrator roles
can enable the service obscure-password command.
