On a slightly related note, how does SA store it’s credentials securely. Say if someone gained access to the server, is it all encrypted somewhere? When I put all these high level credentials into SA, what does it do to ensure that those passwords/credentials are secured against prying eyes, or someone snagging the configuration folder? Just thinking about what could happen if SA was compromised, since it does connect to everything to do it’s testing, and adding switches to the mix increases it’s risk factor. It becomes a target.

The commands are just “getting” info, not writing info to the switch.

Would this require SA to have logon access to each switch, to grab information from it?

Would you be willing to beta test the check if we make it?
