Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

    Introduction

    This document describes the steps needed to configure password obfuscation for devices managed by the Field Network Director (FND).

    Prerequisites

    This feature is only applicable beginning with version 4.9.1 .

    Setting Preferences for the User Interface

    When a device is onboarded to FND, the credentials of the device is visible to all users with GUI access. Network Administrators like to restrict this visibility.

    An admin can define the preference settings to customize the user interface. The Preferences option is located in the upper right corner of the UI.

    Password Obfuscation

    The Show Device Password option is available only for the root users and the user with permission: Manage Device Credentials. For other users, this option is not available.

    By default, this option is not selected. Check the Show Device Password check box and click Apply to view the device credentials under the Config Properties tab on the Device Details page.

    User Access

    Root users have the option to change their preferences.

    Users with the permission, Manage Device Credentials, can change the preference to include the show device password option.

    Preference for the field, show device password, is disabled by default.

    When the option, show device password, is either selected by the root user or by a user with the Manage Device Credentials permission.
