[RFE] Shared Credentials for F5 Hosts
I have several BigIP controllers I connect to regularly. I use the same credentials on all of them which changes daily. It would be extremely convenient if I could enter those credentials once in one place instead of on each device.
Here's a more detailed explanation of the user interface:
- Add a section for "Credentials" where credentials can be added/deleted/changed.
- Each credential would have an ID (name or label), a username and password.
- Context menu for each credential entry would have options to clear password, set password and delete.
- Within an F5 HOSTS entry, add a "credentials" field which refers back to the ID of a specific credential entry.
- When connecting to a device, the credentials field takes priority when retrieving the username and password.
Thanks
I'm gonna have to really think about how to handle this request.
In the mean time. You should be able to globally set the password by re-importing all the configured devices. A template and a simple global replace should make this happen in seconds.

When trying to work around my issue of clearing passwords, I came across the JSON structure and tried it. It didn't work for me. I mentioned it very briefly in the clear password issue I created yesterday. Honestly if clear passwords worked for me or the JSON import worked, I may not have even thought of this feature. I was just thinking how much of a pain it would be if I ever wanted to connect to more of our devices of which we have many.
Thanks for replying. Even with the problems, the extension is really good and extremely helpful.
Hi @jeremy-church1. the clear password issue should be resolved now and should affect the json object import. Can you confirm that this is resolved or still an issue? thanks
