Pass IP/Login/Pass via inbound msg.payload #1

Closed MagnAxiom closed 3 years ago

MagnAxiom commented 7 years ago

First, let me say how excited I am to see this node!!!

Is it possible to pass the IP/login/pass inbound to the node vs hard coding it inside the module?

alhafoudh commented 7 years ago

IP, login and password are now stored through common node-red interface for storing sensitive configuration options which are encrypted in the process.

Passing credentials through messages could expose these sensitive information.

What is you use-case?

MagnAxiom commented 7 years ago

I have a 1500+ mikrotik network, and i'm building a "management" application to standardize passwords and firmwares. right now I use MikroNode as a module, but think an actual node implementation would be cleaner. I'm inside a private network, so this wouldn't be passing over the internet.

Hi,

Thanks for the node-red implementation of Mikrotik. It has helped me quite a lot in my work with managing Mikrotik devices.

I also have a similar use case where I have several Mikrotik devices and would like to pass a single command to all these devices at once. Would be nice to send the host and login credentials As parameters vie the flow.

Regards,

Shaheen
