Many thanks for the patch Daniel, I've attached it to the tracker
ticket.
regards,
oliver.

Hello,
I ran into a slight problem when using the 'domain_suffix' parameter:
Clicking a device in the network map results in a 'no such device'
error (That's the same error as documented in the bugtracker
http://sourceforge.net/p/netdisco/netdisco2/48/ [1]) . Attached to
this mail is a patch that should fix this issue.
regards
Daniel

If/when user management gets added to version 2 can I also suggest
the
method for storing passwords is re-considered. 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.
Certainly... but we need to do it in a way that doesn't make Netdisco 1
explode, or worse.
Thanks for the pointers to the AuthN modules... noted.

Hi Daniel,

- How will Netdisco 2 (or Dancer) every use a custom template path?
I follow your logic, but I think you need to look in the
Dancer::Template::TemplateToolkit package to work out what's happening.
Anyway, I do think the register path code works fine.
As a test (and this was something I wanted to do anyway), I extracted
the Observium plugin into its own Distribution on CPAN. That way you
have a full working example to poke at:
https://metacpan.org/pod/App::NetdiscoX::Web::Plugin::Observium
I hope this helps.
- Does Netdisco or Dancer provide any way to 'auto-login' with a
pre-shared key?
No, but having login via a web API call is a good idea. I'll add a
tracker item to allow this. Rather than using a pre shared token, I
think the way many web services do it is to perform a login and then get
returned a token which is passed in a header with each call to the API
(i.e. instead of a cookie). Would this be OK?
Another thing that came to my mind are custom-roles. Right now
netdisco only has a few pre-defined roles. Maybe it would be helpful
if a plugin could use its own roles. For example my webservice user
could get a 'webservice' role, so the webservice would not be
available to all the GUI admins/users. But I fear this would most
likely require a db-schema extension, so this will not be possible
any
time soon, right?
In fact it's not a problem _adding_ columns to the users table for
other roles. What kinds of actions would the webservice role have that,
say, the port_control role does not, at present?
regards,
oliver.

Ok, thank you very much. I'll have a look at the package and the plugin
again
and hope this sheds some light :) But as the case may be I'll have to get
back
to that topic later :)

I think so. Actually I'd just like to have a method, that allows an easy
to automate login mechanism :)

I was thinking about plugins in general. For example: One could write a
plugin
that includes detail data for each device, like device configs, etc in a
seperate device tab (yes, I did see the new RANCID plugin, but it would be
nice if a such plugin could be integrated even closer). That tab should
only be
visible if you are allowed to see those details. I might want to have
admins/staff
who can discover or port-control a device, but who are not allowed to see
device-configs.
This could be handled with an additional role somehow, I think.
For the mentioned REST plugin, it would be nice If I could say
"has_role REST-user", so that a 'normal' admin would not be able to use
his credentials to use the webservice. This way I could be sure that such
admin-accounts would not be 'misused' for automating something.
So that's just my idea why custom roles would probably be a nice-to-have
feature. :)

Hello developers,
I have this patch proposal for limiting the node depth on the netmap tab
(see http://sourceforge.net/p/netdisco/netdisco2/47/). The patch adds a
sidebar to the netmap. The sidebar provides a field to enter the maximum
node depth as a number. Max depth '1' will display all neighbour nodes, max
depth '2' will display neighbours of neighbours and so on. '0' or an empty
field will display all nodes (like the map does now).
regards.
Daniel
