show config running output

[Nathan.McCart]

on a local firewall, the output of the show config running output has some encrypted data that does not seem to be a certificate. No --begin certificate-- or --end certificate-- .

Does anyone know what this encrypted data is? I thought it might be the licenses installed.

Hello Nathan,

It could be different things based on your config:

-passwords

-custom logos

-certificates 'It will show begin cert, and end cert'

-custom response pages

Licenses will not appear in the running configuration. If you want to export a running configuration you can export by GUI:Device>Operations>Export named configuration snapshot>running-config.xml.

Let me know if you have any questions. Please mark the answers as answered or helpful as applicable.

Regards,

Here is the output right before the encryption. Looks like it has something to do with the reports. Could this be a custom report I created?

Hello Nathan,

You are absolutely correct, it is custom-logo for PDF-reports and that is a default page by PAN. Here is the same output I get:

             }

            }

            secondary-ntp-server {

              ntp-server-address 0.pool.ntp.org;

              authentication-type {

                none;

              }

set deviceconfig setting custom-logo pdf-report-header name logo_pan.gif

set deviceconfig setting custom-logo pdf-report-header content

Also, on GUI you can locate it at Device>Operations>Miscellaneous>Custom-logos

Let me know if that answers your question.

Hi Nathan,

Just to add to Dileep's answer: the data is not encrypted, but merely Base64 encoded, meaning anyone could restore the binary data from looking at the encoded data.
