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
