No other checks, we only have Windows-type authentication for those three (Eventlog, FileProperties and CountFiles).

The "user management" at first is for built-in checks and IF we extend that to COM checks then it will be COM-check per COM-check. In my idea this was "just" for the Windows based checks, so if I look at the COM checks that would be the eventlog and the FileProperties and CountFiles check. Were you thinking about other COM based checks too? dirk -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Sleegers Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:16 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] User management for Windows based checks I think this is a good idea. We use a lot of COM based checks (file check, disk space) so if it could accommodate those as well, so much the better. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 1:58 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] User management for Windows based checks For the moment if you want to authenticate for the Windows based checks (service - diskspace - ...) you need to give the username and password. This means that if the password changes that you need to change the password for each entry that has that username. I was thinking about a way to make this more user friendly :-) How if we would allow to use a "PERSON" (same as those for the alerts) for the authentication? That way you would only need to change the password once and everything the authentication needs to be done using that "person" (username) we already have the updated password. Let me know what you think about this.....
