Exposure of Proxy password in log files

We have a Blue Coat proxy server and we are using USER@Host FireID Proxy ID to connect via the authenticating proxy.

We have ticked the box for user login and password.

When we do this, the connection works, but the user credentials are returned as CLEAR TEXT in the SmartFTP log.

We are currently running v2.0.996.35 and some v.1 software in the environment.

We have tested the latest v3 build but the problem remains in v3.

Oddly, in the v1 build the password is returned as PASS (hidden)

How can we resolve this issue?

Changed. Fix will be available in the next build (1-3 days).
