When I grep this output to radius I am left with a line such as below.<BR /><STRONG>aaa:auth_profile:base_radius_authprofile:radius_srv:xx:secret \ aAAaAaAaAaAaAaAag=</STRONG></P><P>Would it be possible to migrate the RADIUS secret by configuring radius with the wrong secret, and then manually change the entry in the /config/db/initial file? Or would there be an alternative way to do such a thing when the shared secret password is currently unknown?</P><P>Thank you for your time and possible response!</P> Thu, 08 Aug 2024 13:29:03 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/RADIUS-Secret-for-Migration/m-p/223072#M42773 HansKazan 2024-08-08T13:29:03Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/RADIUS-Secret-for-Migration/m-p/223213#M42794 <P>Even if the secret was known, I don't think just copy/pasting files from the old machine to the new one would help.
