Encrypted username and password

Encrypted username and password

Several XML tag elements are named <password>. FortiClient always encrypts all such tags during configuration exports. For modified and imported configurations, FortiClient accepts encrypted or plain-text passwords.

Here is an example of an encrypted password tag element. The password starts with Enc:

<password>Enc9b4e1aae22c65e638aed4e47fbd225256a3b7a24b53f8370d6bc3b9aa90cecd5086c995f0549e944b4acc951e4844529c71d81280de2b951</password>

Several <username> XML tags also follow this format.
