Data Encryption In 'Config.txt - LEGRAND Raritan PX3TS User Manual

Data Encryption in 'config.txt'

When intending to prevent people from identifying the values of any settings,
you can encrypt them. Encrypted data still can be properly interpreted and
performed by any PX3TS running firmware version 3.2.20 or later.
Data encryption procedure:
1. Open the "config.txt" file to determine which setting(s) to encrypt.
▪
If an appropriate "config.txt" is not created yet, see
Configuration Files via Mass Deployment Utility
2. Launch a terminal to log in to the CLI of any PX3TS running version 3.2.20
or later. See Logging in to CLI
3. Type the encryption command and the value of the setting you want to
encrypt.
▪
The value cannot contain any double quotes (") or backslashes (-).
▪
If the value contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
# config encrypt <value>
-- OR --
# config encrypt "<value with spaces>"
4. Press Enter. The CLI generates and displays the encrypted form of the
typed value.
5. Go to the "config.txt" file and replace the chosen value with the encrypted
one by typing or copying the encrypted value from the CLI.
6. Add the text "encrypted:" to the beginning of the encrypted setting.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for additional settings you intend to encrypt.
8. Save the changes made to the "config.txt" file. Now you can use this file to
configure any PX3TS running version 3.2.20 or later. See
Firmware Upgrade with a USB Drive
Illustration:
In this example, we will encrypt the word "private", which is the value of
the SNMP write community in the "config.txt" file.
1. In the CLI, type the following command to encrypt "private."
