Access Points). An user having access to the syslog server can read the logs containing these credentials.
This issue affects WAX610: before 10.8.11.4; WAX610Y: before 10.8.11.4.
Devices
managed with Insight get automatic updates. If not, please check the firmware version
and update to the latest.

WAX610Y firmware
