0.5.1

General

Pluggable authentication

From 0.5.1 release NOC supports pluggable authentication for flexible enterprise infrastructure integration. Four basic authentication plugins are included:

  • local - stores users and groups in NOC database (Default one)
  • http - delegates authentication process to the upstream HTTP server, relying on REMOTE_USER variable
  • ldap - uses central directory service for user authentication
  • pyrule - delegates authentication decision to a custom pyRule script

Path checking

  • ./scripts/post-update* checks all required executable paths

Built"in documentation builder

Built"in documentation builder no longer requires make

clone-activator fixes

Clone activator add required part of contrib/ into cloned activator

API Improvements

  • Script.cli now accepts optional list_re parameter, converting output string to a list of dicts

Canned Scripts

debug"script can save script's interaction with device in form of unittest for testing and debugging purposes.

debug-script improvements

Debug script can use managed object name or id as well as URL

Configuration Management

  • Annotate view
  • Visual appearance improved

Address Space Management

  • MAC and Managed Object fields
  • Synchronize database's MACs with equipment ARP caches
