Hello Techs,

We have a requirement where ITOM agent password should be in encrypted format and should not be visible by any means.

Encryption of the password is to be enabled across the entire installation process. Reason being, the server does not have the password in the encrypted format currently which indeed a vulnerability by all the means and has been picked up by the Cyber Security folks.

We need the password to be in encrypted format in order for us to make sure it does not show up anywhere while the entire process takes place.

Hello Mohammad Ahtesham,

 

This post refers specifically to the agent installation process.

 

We have been investigating the reported issue. We can confirm the following:

 

  1. The passwords are only visible during the installation of the agent on the end device.
  2. The passwords are not visible while being transferred to the device
  3. The passwords are not visible on the network once the agent has been installed and is communicating with the server

 

 

This needs to be raised as an idea rather than as a question so that the appropriate teams can address it.
