Attention
Starting with SW release 4.2 we set default to not saving passwords using pass-
word hashes instead. Storing passwords for users can be enabled, but is not
recommended for new applications.
Older SW releases require the passwords to be stored encrypted on the device.
As we don't have them any more in release version 4.2 and later you will have
to provide the administrator password if you want to downgrade to a release
4.1.x and lower. The same passphrase will be used for bootloader login as well.
All users which have no password stored on the device will not be able to login
after downgrade until new passwords have been applied.
An Uniform Resource Locator (URL) can have the following format:
http://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>
https://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>
ftp://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>
sftp://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>
tftp://<host>/<path>
file:///<path>
When issuing a software update, the current con guration (including les like keys/certi -
cates) will be backuped. Any other modi cations to the lesystem will be erased.
The con guration is generally backward-compatible. We also apply forward compatibility
when downgrading to a previous software within the same release line, which is accom-
plished by sorting out unknown con guration directives which actually may lead to loss of
settings and features. Therefore, it's always a good idea to keep a copy of the working con-
guration.
