As a workaround, add in NAPALM_USERNAME=$NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_USERNAME and NAPALM_PASSWORD=$NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_PASSWORD to the environment or nautobot_settings.py

I spotted this using the docker-compose deployment with plugins Dockerfile as per https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-docker-compose/blob/main/docs/plugins.md.

This can be worked around in this setting by configuring your local.env file as such:

NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_USERNAME=some-user
NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_PASSWORD=something-secure-of-your-choosing
NAPALM_USERNAME=$NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_USERNAME
NAPALM_PASSWORD=$NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_PASSWORD

And your nautobot_config.py should look like:

# Credentials that Nautobot will uses to authenticate to devices when connecting via NAPALM.
NAPALM_USERNAME = os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_USERNAME", "")
NAPALM_PASSWORD = os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_NAPALM_PASSWORD", "")

Closing as Device Onboarding now relies on other mechanisms to get credentials.
