Awareness of device links for the purpose of LDAP directory logins #3
Description
People today are trying to login using LDAP accounts with stconnect and it's not working because Siptrack is not aware of LDAP.
One quick solution would be to have stconnect search device links, as long as they're a certain type.
This would allow people to create domain devices for their LDAP directories or Active Directory domains, link their devices to this domain device and then store any domain account passwords under the domain device.
Then stconnect could connect to a device, and if no matching local account is found on the device it will check the domain devices linked to the device in turn to find a matching account.
This achieves two goals, inventory of ldap directories using the standard device object with a new class, templates could be created for directory devices. And second it enables stconnect users to login using directory accounts instead of local accounts.
