What I did:
To encrypt the TACACS secret key using a predefined shared key.
Why I did it:
It was required to encrypt the key before placing it in the configuration and decrypt it before use, for enhanced security.
How I did it
To encrypt the key with predefined shared key before placing it in the configuration and decrypt it before use, for enhanced security.
sonic-utilities also modified for the requirement: sonic-net/sonic-utilities#3327
How I verified it:
To configure secret key using a CLI command and verified that the secret key could be used (e.g., for authentication) and that the encrypted string was visible in the configuration.
