Usage Guidelines
Passwords are stored in encrypted form and not as plain text. The command-line interface (CLI) contains the
provisioning (for example, clear and encrypted) to specify the password input.
The username and password are required as part of the SFTP protocol. If you specify the URL that begins
with the prefix (sftp://), you must configure the parameters for the sftp-password command under the trustpoint.
Otherwise, the certificate from the SFTP server, which is used for manual certificate enrollment, cannot be
retrieved.
