Support for password encryption for SNMPv3 users
For SNMPv3 user, the passwords for <auth-password> and <priv-password> are encrypted. You
can configure either with plain text password or encrypted password. In both the cases, the
passwords are shown as encrypted.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
