This is a big one for us....
We're a service provider managing connections for many customers.
We'd like vRD to be our credential store. For that to work
* We need to be able to reveal the passwords behind the asterisks - we don't want to have to manage another password store elsewhere and have the overhead of keeping them in sync
* We'd like to be able to specify different usernames and passwords for each server and selectively choose via permissions, who can see these. examples would be say ILO/DRAC credentials, network device 'enable' passwords, app passwords for management consoles which may be hosted on the server
* notes specific to credentials to appear for example, in a pop-out side bar so they're visible at a click once the server object is highlighted.
* be able to specify via permissions which users can see specific credential types for each server object
Just to be clear here, I'm suggesting a way of *displaying* credential information, not to actually authenticate down to that level - we'd still expect someone to have to type the 'enable' password on a router.
It would be pretty cool if the Administrator could specify the label names for such credential entities in the product so that it can be infinitely tailored to each environment
