Of course that is IF I can get it to work... Been playing around and so far no luck, just started.. Seems like it should be doable...   Tv   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Anthony Valuikas Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 10:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG link to database Well my problem is that I have 125+ offices so I need to restrict the link. I think that I have found a way to do that. Before I just placed the link under <%IF% IS_MAP_CONFIGURE_DEVICES> so only Admins of WUG would see a link above Tools. Now that I am migrating the Access DB to SQL I need a way to pass the WUG user to SQL. (since WUG still does not do NT Auth.) I think I can do that in reverse. (might not be the best way).   My thought is doing an IF-ELSE in the devicedetails.asp and just hard coding in the WUG users there. then each line would have the correct link with the correct WUG username passed in it to the SQL server. Then SQL could take it from there. The WUG/IIS/SQL all live on the same Cluster so it is not that big of a deal.   This also would not fill up the device page. I already have too much info there.. MRTG stuff and the likes... I have asked Ipswitch for a way to do a second devicedetails.asp so I could still keep the map and device in context while displaying the SQL data in an IFrame.     Thanks Tv         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Terry Wood Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG link to database Tony,   A quick thought, if you are using the web interface, you can paste straight HTML in the notes section, and it will be displayed as links or the HTML item when you "drill" into it.  I.E. you cold have links to, or actual HTML pages with vendor contact information/circuit ID/various information.  Of course this depends on what database you are using, and what output methods are available.   -Terry. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Anthony Valuikas Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG link to database Anyone else out there linking WUG to a database via HOSTNAME to retrieve Configuration DOCS for the said device?   Just want to get some other ideas for what I am doing.   Thanks Tony
