You can mask the user’s passwords by clicking the checkbox. Masking a password causes the original,
encrypted password to be replaced with “*****” in the exported or saved file. Please note, however, that
configuration files with masked passwords cannot be loaded back into AsyncOS.
Use the Load Configuration section of the System Administration > Configuration File page to load new
configuration information into the Cisco IronPort appliance. You can load information in one of three
methods:
Placing information in the configuration directory and uploading it.
Uploading the configuration file directly from your local machine.
Pasting configuration information directly into the GUI.
Configuration files with masked passwords cannot be loaded.
