Encrypted display of the authentication string or MD5 authentication key
The optional 0 | 1 parameter with the authentication-key and md5-authentication key-id
parameters affects encryption.
For added security, the device encrypts the display of the password or authentication string.
Encryption is enabled by default. The software also provides an optional parameter to disable
encryption of a password or authentication string, on an individual OSPF area or OSPF interface
basis.
When encryption of the passwords or authentication strings is enabled, they are encrypted in the
CLI regardless of the access level you are using. The encryption option can be omitted (the default)
or can be one of the following:
•
•
NOTE
If you want the software to assume that the value you enter is the clear-text form, and to encrypt
display of that form, do not enter 0 or 1. Instead, omit the encryption option and allow the software
to use the default behavior.
If you specify encryption option 1, the software assumes that you are entering the encrypted form
of the password or authentication string. In this case, the software decrypts the password or string
you enter before using the value for authentication. If you accidentally enter option 1 followed by the
clear-text version of the password or string, authentication will fail because the value used by the
software will not match the value you intended to use.

command. The password or string is shown as clear text in the running configuration and the
startup configuration file. Use this option of you do not want display of the password or string
to be encrypted.
1 – Assumes that the password or authentication string you enter is the encrypted form, and
decrypts the value before using it.
