How to create new -managed- account type

[Buckit]

Hey guys,

 

I'm in the process of building a wad of new plugins, to manage various IoT devices.

 

I have already defined new host and OS types for these and the boxen have been registered as hosts. Now comes the time to start adding password records to the database, which is where I fall flat. I've added new account types through the administrative section of the GUI. However, none of these new types are set, nor can they be set, to "managed" status. I'd really like to do this though, and set up automatic linking to the correct (newly made) plugin scripts.

 

Is there a way of doing this that doesn't require me trudging through the MSSQL backend? I could of course just lie and use an existing account type, manually setting the right script each time, but that feels inelegant.

Hi Buckit,

 

The only way you can currently set these to Managed is through the DB directly. It really is quite simple, and you just need to look in the AccountTypes table, and set the field Managed to 1.

Right'o! Well, let's make it a feature request, for us to have the ability to create new managed types through the GUI. It'd be even better if you could specify the scripts to be used, but that'd be the cherry on the sundae

Thanks Buckit - we'll look into this for a future build.
