Keep-Cleartext

As of LCOS 10.40 an algorithm is used to store the main device password and the administrator passwords in encrypted form as a hash value. Specify here whether the cleartext password is also retained.

SNMP ID:
2.11.89.1 
Console path:
Setup > Config > Passwords
Possible values:
Yes
The main device password and the administrator passwords are internally also stored in cleartext. This means that the password can still be displayed in LANconfig, and that access points with an LCOS version earlier than 10.40 can still be managed by a WLC or the WLC option. The password is not visible from the CLI.
Important: If you wish to retain the option of downgrading the firmware to an LCOS version earlier than 10.40, this option must be set.
Important: If a firmware downgrade is made to an LCOS version prior to 10.40 that does not support encrypted passwords, the password will be deleted. Access to the router from the LAN or WLAN is then possible without a password! Access from the WAN is not possible without a password!
No
The main device password and the administrator passwords are internally stored in hashed form only.
Default:
No
