Password parameter in configuration file

[asenthil]

Hi,

While using configuration files to provision the phone, Line authentication username and password is passed as plain text with the parameters,

account.X.auth_name="xxxx"
account.X.password="xxxx"

How can the password parameter be sent to the phone securely, as a hash or encrypted format which the phone will be able to understand?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
