If using FMC - Usernames show as ******* in syslog

Syslog data in Rapid 7 is showing

‘ASA-6-113015: AAA user authentication Rejected : reason = User was not found : local database : user = ***** : user IP =’

This appears to be a new feature in Cisco and has to be turned off.
To change this we have to enter

→ no logging hide username

.>expert
Admin@fw:~$ sudo su
Password:
Root@fw:/home/admin# LinaConfigTool “no logging hide username”
