Updating the infinishellrc file

InfiniShell version 5.5.10 and above uses a new method of Password Obfuscation. infinishellrc will receive an expected error after upgrading to version 5.5.10.

This issue can be corrected  by editing the password.

• Open the file in your preferred text editor (for example VIM) - ~/.infinidat/infinishell/infinishellrc
  

  // infinishellrc  {   "paging": true,   "log_file": null,   "quiet": false,   "keep_going": false,   "color": "auto",   "username": "admin",   "password": "your_password",  <-- // Replace the obfuscated string with your password    ...  }

  
  

• The infinishellrc file will be update and obfuscate the new password when you launch InfiniShell. 

• You can verify the obfuscation by opening the file and checking the password.

  // infinishellrc  {   "paging": true,   "log_file": null,   "quiet": false,   "keep_going": false,   "color": "auto",   "username": "admin",   "password": "!!!2UDNzITM",  <-- // Obfuscated string, generated by the system    ...  }
