Background

The ZenPacks.zenoss.EnterpriseSecurity ZenPack enhances Zenoss platform security by encrypting stored passwords.

Zenoss platform stores the passwords it uses to remotely access hosts in a Zope Object Database (ZODB). After enabling this feature, these passwords are encrypted according to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), with 256-bit key sizes.

By using the password encryption feature, you can help prevent an attacker from accessing your managed systems if he gains access to a backup copy of your ZODB.
