NetBox Napalm multiple users, passwords (one pass to rule them all)

[Buffer Overflow]

Hello.

Is there a way to define multiple napalm user/pass credentials within netbox config file? Not all devices on my network have the same username/password. I know you can call Netbox API and define custom credentials, but I need this functionality only for status of the devices on Netbox webGUI.

Part of the netbox config:

 #Credentials that NetBox will uses to authenticate to devices when connecting via NAPALM.
 NAPALM_USERNAME = 'admin'
 NAPALM_PASSWORD = 'admin'

You cannot configure NetBox to try different credentials, but you can pass credentials in an API request yourself using the X-NAPALM-Username and X-NAPALM-Password headers.

Or, alternatively, create a common read-only user for NetBox to use.

Hello.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, creating a user would be the best option, but another team is managing credentials and I don't want to nag them.

Is it possible to pass API request via config context?

For example:

{
    "headers": {
        "Accept": "application/json; indent=4",
        "Authorization": "Token 635cf5c26e6532161310ab4fbfc1340e89768707",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "X-NAPALM-Password": "admin",
        "X-NAPALM-Username": "admin"
    },
    "method": "get",
    "queries": {
        "method": "get_environment"
    },
    "raw_url": "http://netbox/api/dcim/devices/1/napalm/?method=get_environment",
    "url": "http://netbox/api/dcim/devices/1/napalm"
}

Regards.
