People today are trying to login using LDAP accounts with stconnect and it's not working because Siptrack is not aware of LDAP.

One quick solution would be to have stconnect search device links, as long as they're a certain type.

This would allow people to create domain devices for their LDAP directories or Active Directory domains, link their devices to this domain device and then store any domain account passwords under the domain device.

Then stconnect could connect to a device, and if no matching local account is found on the device it will check the domain devices linked to the device in turn to find a matching account.

This achieves two goals, inventory of ldap directories using the standard device object with a new class, templates could be created for directory devices. And second it enables stconnect users to login using directory accounts instead of local accounts.

As it is now you're allowed to delete a template even if other templates depend on it.

This causes the dependent templates to throw an exception if you attempt to use them in any way.

The client library, or siptrackweb, should perform a check to ensure that no template depends on a template being deleted.

Or offer a recursive delete option but that might be more work than it's worth right now.

Edit: Another alternative is to solve this in siptrackweb so that old templates can still be deleted even if their parents are gone.
