Hi, since ConfGen isn’t allowed to encrypt passwords for WNOS 8.3.x anylonger, which tool can I use to create working password string?
I read the instructions at ConfGen help, but wasn’t able to find the “Encrypt button” at WNOS clients even after enabling the admin mode.
Thank You.
You have to use Enc-Username and Enc-Password to get the AES encryption button.
AdminMode=yes Enc-Username=lFgwMCns4nl7g Enc-Password=lFgwMCns4nl7gCG
Nice job man 🙂 Works like charme (never expected anything else)
lFgwMCns4nl7g => Can you send this in clear letters?But still very bad information provided by Dell Wyse in their documentation.
lFgwMCns4nl7g = admin
ConfGen can still encrypt Enc-username and Enc-password.

Hello,
I have followed the instructions to get the AES password string generated on the device. Now what parameter do I use in the .ini file with this string?
Thanks in advance!
What do you want to encrypt?
You can use it nearly anywhere when encryption is available.CG
I would like to use it for the admin password. I have tried the following parameters with the AES string:
admin-username/admin-password
Enc-username/enc-passwordI am either using the wrong parameter, or not using the parameter correctly.
Thanks
For AES encrypted admin mode, you have to use
AdminMode=yes Admin-Username=AESencrypt Admin-Password=AESencrypt

I tried admin-username and admin-password and it still doesn’t seem to be working. Here are the steps that I took:
1. Used Configuration Generator to create admin username and password (both are “admin”):
AdminMode=yes Enc-Username=lFgwMCns4nl7g Enc-Password=lFgwMCns4nl7g
2. Rebooted client
3. Right-clicked and entered administrative mode using admin/admin
4. Clicked on AES Encrypt
5. Entered “testing” for both fields and pressed enter
6. Was presented the following string:
KAFEPDNFHAH0JGFKNLNEKFCKPLBHPAFJ
7. Entered the following into the configuration file in order to have testing as the username and password:
AdminMode=yes Admin-Username= KAFEPDNFHAH0JGFKNLNEKFCKPLBHPAFJ Admin-Password= KAFEPDNFHAH0JGFKNLNEKFCKPLBHPAFJ
8. Rebooted the endpoint
9. Tried entering admin mode with testing/testing and it fails
Do you have any additional advice? I also tried replacing the zero with an O.
Thanks
Could you do a factory reset of the client and then retest with your above INI?
CG
Ensure that there is no space after equal sign after admin-username
Admin-Username= passthe same for Admin-Password=
Thank you both for taking a look at it. I tried both suggestions (removing the spaces and factory reset) and the password is still not working. Is there any chance you have a validated config file that I could test out?
Thanks
AdminMode=yes Enc-Username=NDCDKDHLLFDMODPNBCGGEOIINOIEMDKO Enc-Password=NDCDKDHLLFDMODPNBCGGEOIINOIEMDKO
This should be “admin” for both values.

I have been able to find success! The string that ended up working was:
AdminMode=yes Admin-Username=NDCDKDHLLFDMODPNBCGGEOIINOIEMDKO Admin-Password=NDCDKDHLLFDMODPNBCGGEOIINOIEMDKO
I think I had been running into multiple issues.
- The O is not a zero, but the letter.
- There is no space between the = sign and the password.
- It seems like you must perform a factory reset before the new password becomes activated.
Thanks to ConfGen and bartlomiej.belko for the assistance!
