PIX config download problems

I have recently added our PIX firewalls to Cirrus to maintain configuration backups. Currently I am not able to process the Download Config script. I have noticed that in the template for the 515E PIX, that the download config command is simply "show ${ConfigType}". This is fine except that our firewalls require an enable command followed by a password before this could work. What is the appropriate way to correct this? Is it a PIX configuration problem or is there a way to manipulate the template to execute an "enable ${Password}" before the "show ${ConfigType}? Thanks for the help.

On another note, where is a good listing of all of the command variables? Thanks.

Mark,

Thanks for the info on the variables. Do you have a suggestion for my problem? Thanks.

Well let's try this -

Locate the template file 515E in C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes (if this is what you are using) and make an edit. Enter this before the "show ${ConfigType]" <Command Name="enable $[Password]"/>

I don't think that will work because each command needs a Command Name and a Value. It looks to me like you simply stated a Command Name and no Value. For example.

</Commands>

I still don't understand these fully. I don't know what significance the command names are. In my mind there should be a command named Enable with a value of "enable ${password}". Similar to the example below.
