The issue is related to the following python file packaged with AOB. On older versions of AOB packages the credential.py is looking for 8 asterisks in inputs.conf. In later versions it's looking for 6 asterisks, and as a result they overwrite values in password.conf. Basically, your password.conf file will have 8 asterisks encrypted in the resulting password.conf file. /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # if the field value is '********', keep the original value /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # original password does not exist, use '********' as password /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-/opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # if the field value is '********', keep the original value /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # original password does not exist, use '********' as password /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # if the field value is '********', keep the original value /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # original password does not exist, use '********' as password /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # if the field value is '********', keep the original value /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-proofpoint-isolation/bin/ta_proofpoint_isolation/aob_py3/splunktaucclib/rest_handler/credentials.py: # original password does not exist, use '********' as password
