A single iteration of MD5 with no salting really isn't a great idea these days. Authen::Passphrase or Dancer::Plugin::Passphrase look like they provide various more secure options. -- Robert Kerr

--- Begin Message ---Hello, I have recently started using/testing Netdisco 2 and I would like to ask:1. Is there a way to get IP Address reports, similar to those available in Netdisco 1.x ("Report IP Inventory")? This functionality is important to us.When I issue commands (like "Discover All") from the web GUI, the jobs seem to be queued forever (in the Job Queue page). Things work fine when commands are issued from the CLI.2. Why jobs are not run when issued from the web page, but stay queued? How can we force the execution of these jobs?3. Is there a way to perform full network auto discovery starting from routers, i.e. can we provide the discovery starting points (routers) and let ND2 to discover/macsuck all connected devices automatically? (If I remember right -it's been long since I last did it-, this works in ND 1.)Thanks and best regards, Nick

Hi again,
thanks to Simon, Michael, Oliver and Mark for their answers. I knew I'm not the only one with that issue, and I see some have already put a lot of thinking into it, even if no code yet.
I will estimate our exact needs and then decide on a path, either make my own extensions into Netdisco at the risk of these not being included later, or do something beside it, matching my exact needs. Hard decision to take.
Regards,
Charles
Dear Netdisco fellows,
I'm using Netdisco 1.x in an "enterprise" network, where every IP is
guaranteed to be unique, and all is well. We have developed a very
customized front-end, using Netdisco database as one of the back-end.
Now I have a request to use Netdisco in a service-provider setup, where
we have conflicting / overlapping IP ranges. The idea is to use a
central NAT to reach all customer devices, so each IP is unique on the
NMS side, but obviously not unique on the customer switches and routers,
and certainly not on the customer nodes.
Our other NMS tools can live with this way of work, because they don't
collect IP information from customer-devices, or when they do, it's an
attribute that is stored locally to the device info, and never used as
primary key in a database.
I have seen that Netdisco uses the IP everywhere, and that in its
version 1.x, it will not be usable for my service-provider setup. Is
there a plan to enhance this, eg segregate the records using another
indexing system, or a "customer" attribute to the DB tables, or anything
fancy in that direction ?
Having multiple Netdisco instances is not an option, this does not scale
well, is expensive, and hard to maintain. So I will need to search for
alternatives, or develop something that fit, our extend Netdisco.
Opinions, ideas, links are all welcome :-)
Best regards,
Charles
