NetBox v2.8

v2.8.0 (FUTURE)

New Features

Remote Authentication Support (#2328)

Several new configuration parameters provide support for authenticating an incoming request based on the value of a specific HTTP header. This can be leveraged to employ remote authentication via an nginx or Apache plugin, directing NetBox to create and configure a local user account as needed. The configuration parameters are:

REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED - Enables remote authentication (disabled by default)
REMOTE_AUTH_HEADER - The name of the HTTP header which conveys the username
REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER - Enables the automatic creation of new users (disabled by default)
REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_GROUPS - A list of groups to assign newly created users
REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS - A list of permissions to assign newly created users

If further customization of remote authentication is desired (for instance, if you want to pass group/permission information via HTTP headers as well), NetBox allows you to inject a custom Django authentication backend to retain full control over the authentication and configuration of remote users.
