NetBox version

v4.4.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Remove the ability to retrieve the plaintext key from legacy (v1) API tokens. This entails removing the ALLOW_TOKEN_RETRIEVAL configuration parameter, which is disabled by default.

Use case

An improved API token implementation is being developed for NetBox v4.5 (see #20210), which will no longer rely on storing token plaintexts in the database. Support for legacy (v1) tokens will be removed in a future NetBox release. This change is a natural step toward that eventuality, and delivers improved operational security in the interim.

Database changes

This change does not entail any modifications to the database or token data. It is only an application level change.
