Hi All,
I am trying to update the credentials of an emergency username and password for all of my IOS devices. I have 2 problems currently:
1.) NCM logs into my test device and starts to execute the script. Once finished, NCM through the web console shows "Connection Refused".
2.) After I decrypt my Cisco passwords in the config, intermittently, 2-3 of the passwords that are changed, have characters replaced with multiple question marks. For example, if my password is "PopTart5!", the password is actually reading as "PopTar???" after I decrypt it. Sometimes It will only have 1 ? mark at the end instead, so it isnt quite consistent.
I am currently running NCM 7.4. Below is the template I have taken from online and modified to fit my needs. Any idea what is going on here?
