We have put description on many of our swichports, and we want to search
on portname.
The only way to do this (so fare I can see) is to go to Home > Report
Switchports and then click on the Advance Search.
But on this page you'll have to scrool sideways pretty long before you
find the portname-field
I know we can customize our Navigation preferences, but it would be
better to brake-up this page
The best thing would be a field-search in the /report -page
Something like this maybe
Reports
IP Device Center Room search Device search Switchports
w/vlan Portname
Thats only a suggestion

Subject: [Nav-users] External authentication in NAV
Message-ID: tkvf87iogr.fsf@voll.uninett.no
Are there any possibilities to use an external authentication
mechanism in NAV. In UNINETT, we are looking at so-called
single-sign-on solutions for web applications. In our setup, the
authentication process can be performed by the web server, not by the
web applications. We have implemented this by hooking custom
authentication methods into the Apache request cycle.
So, in principle it should be sufficient for NAV to lookup the
authenticated username from the Apache request record, and use that as
a indication of successfull authentication. The NAV webfrontend should
be able to go like this: "oh, I see that the user is already
authenticated, so I'll just let him in".
I realize that in order for authorization to be performed correctly,
the user must probably be registered in NAV as well, but this is
another issue altogether. My main interest is avoiding the extra
username/password dialog in NAV.
In case anyone is wondering about relations with the FEIDE project:
This is only partly related to FEIDE, the issue should be of
general interest.

Authentication is handled by subsystem/webFront/lib/nav/web/auth.py
and likewize with authorization: subsystem/lib-python/src/nav/auth.py
The authenticationmodule is initiated from
subsystem/webFront/lib/nav/web/__init__.py in function
headerparserhandler.
There's a file ldapAuth.py for example on how to use ldap as external
source of authentication. We used this internally for testing for a
while, but had to let it go because of broken openssl/openldap in
RedHat Linux.
I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I think we added some
functionality to first try ldap, then local database if ldapAuth was
used.. maybe someone else can comment on this?

The NAV userdatabase using ldapAuth mentioned above, also has a means
for describing where the source of this user credentials come from, so
you can have - say all your organization in ldap where they update their
passwords in ldap - and store external users and testusers inside the
NAV database.

I was thinking of making python-bindings to Moria, but I haven't had the
time yet. Not mainly for this system, but for similar use.

I stand corrected.. we didn't throw ldap-authenticaion away or anything
- it just didn't work with the standard openssl/openldap packages in
RedHat 9, but its working with a current setup using SLES9.
One of the reasons we let NAV do the external authentication on behalf
of the user is because we have to cache credentials in NAV, if the
external source of authentication is unavailable.

Is your PYTHONPATH correct?
I use
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/nav/lib/python
in 5.3 and it works.
BTW: Have you innstalled NAV from ports?
regards,
