I highly recommend you upgrade and then remove and re-add your IPS devices.</P> Mon, 20 May 2013 15:48:14 GMT andrew_garvin 2013-05-20T15:48:14Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Encrypt-password-on-python-script/m-p/39750#M487 <P>I am running the CISCO IPS app which requires a username / password to login to the IPS. This is specified in the inputs.conf and cleartext when you view the process:</P> <P>ps -ef produces .../get_ips_feed.py username password sensorip interval</P> <P>I would like to encrypt or hide this - possible??</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 13:56:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Encrypt-password-on-python-script/m-p/39750#M487 mcgrathd 2020-09-28T13:56:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Encrypt-password-on-python-script/m-p/39751#M488 <P>Other portions of Splunk use base64 encoding to obfuscate passwords. I would modify get_ips_feed.py to user a base64.</P> Mon, 20 May 2013 15:43:06 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Encrypt-password-on-python-script/m-p/39751#M488 bmacias84 2013-05-20T15:43:06Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Encrypt-password-on-python-script/m-p/39752#M489 <P>This was addressed in the latest version of the Splunk for Cisco IPS app. It is encrypted in the inputs.conf config file and not present in the process listing.
