Format of encrypted object strings
Like the BIG-IP system, the BIG-IQ system uses the Secure Vault feature to encrypt configuration object passwords and passphrases. However, the encrypted object strings do not start with
$M$
as they do on the BIG-IP system. Instead, the BIG-IQ system has its own starting string, $6$
, as shown in these examples:encrypted-password $6$NHVhF9wT$OWbQE5S.nfY/MTR4Agwru/qwl8IAcKWomeB4G6otahGu37KuTDGILDnKX7r9DTiL/Y7sdneuPT0LZI0G9Ccyg0 encrypted-password $6$V2Fq.kAw$CsMe0DCi1Q0q2.gO/QKIkG4Ye9SyB9ZDu9BRpbPIY9CQqUHrsfB7jY3eYmQdSqyC.cej8mgTpb.QvuKhJFIIM.
