#3 Request module
A request page, for people who need an IP address in a specific vlan or subnet.
It would be nice if this request page ask for a number of details which makes my life as network-admin easier, like which vlan/subnet, what is the name of the device and the description.
After they have asked for an IP I just want to click approve or deny and maybe the switchport details, which send an e-mail to the user with the appropiate information.

Hi, great idea!
I guess this should work without logging in, so on some subsite, linked also from login site?
I propose to have a dropdown list of subnets, from which the requester can request new IP address. After submitting request It will be added to new table and all admins will be notified, and under admin menu you will be able to see al requests with editable details, which you can approve / reject and notify the reqester.
Does this sound ok?
Hi,
It sounds exactly as what we need and want :-)
Little idea for the future:
It would be nice to have ldap/AD authentication, so you have the users e-mail address and the "ownership" of an IP is always connectted to the same user, no spelling misstakes or twisting the first and lastname.
But ldap/AD integration for logging on and managing the rights with AD groups has for us a higher priority. I saw in the notes that his was already on the agenda.
Yes, it is planned. But it is a bit bigger problem: authenticating against AD is easy, but then there is a problem with permissions. So you could have it that all users can make requests for IP addresses, but for all others you would have to map domain usernames with permission to allow user to admin or just view IP addresses.
It is doable of course but it will take some more time to implement it. But I will start working in it!
Implemented, it will be included in next release! I have attached some screenshots...
