Mapping key words from menu

The key words, value, section name, and group head names are all identical to the terms in the menu. For
backward compatibility, the script file dumped from the ibcfg program containing different key words from

CCM menu is accepted and correctly mapped to the new terms.

Case sensitivity and space sensitivity

Space sensitivity means word1 word2 (two spaces between the words) is treated as a different string from

word1 word2 (one space between the words). The following table is a summary of case sensitivity and

space sensitivity of different fields in the scripting file.

Hidden string or password field treatment

In CCM versions earlier than 6.2.13, password or CHAP secret strings appear as ****…**** in the -get

operation and in log files in conformance with the menu policy. If the password field contains asterisk-only
characters, the -set operation ignores it with a warning logged in the log file.
In version 6.2.13 and later, the -get operation encrypts the password string with a MAC address-based key

and places a MAC address-based signature on the string. When the -set operation encounters the

password field, it verifies the string signature. If the -set operation verifies the string has a valid signature

for the current port, the string is decrypted. If the signature verification process fails, the string is treated as a
clear non-encrypted string.
