I'm currently running an IM server with 26 maps, monitoring 129 devices, where about 1/3 of those is local maps, cascading the view of the network.
I have a admin login, and the way IM does authentication right now (Basic HTTP) seems to annoy me a little.
I'm wondering if we could have an option for using a session-cookie to store the login state (and maybe username...) so IM could check if the current user is logged in, in stead of setting a realm for every map.
I have IP range settings to auto-athenticate me when on the company network (internally) but ones I move to an outside location, this rule does not kick in (thanks god..) so I have to authenticate for every map I use.
Now, On my own laptop, I can tell <my browser> to use the Keychain, but if I use some other PC, I can't do that!
I would really like to vote for a more 'modern' authentication, like some session-cookie. And fallback to Basic Authentication is ok.
As I travel a lot, I tend to use the webinterface a lot from locations where I don't get an automatic authentication.
Any one else?
