Description

Any changes to the Suricata barnyard configuration page requires that you update the password as well, otherwise the base64-encoded value is written to your configuration and stopping barnyard2 from working properly.

Repro steps:

Navigate to: https://pfsense/suricata/suricata_barnyard.php?id=0, hit save, and inspect the newly written baryard2.conf file you will see something like:

output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=cGFzc3dvcmQ= dbname=suricata host=192.168.x.x

The value of 'password' should actually be 'password', not the base64-encoded version.

This is very similar to Bug 7616 (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7616).
