Description

This is more likely a question rather than a feature request:

I've successfully connected to Juniper switches using NAPALM with netbox. However, it only seems to work when I store a static user and password in the configuration.py NAPALM_USER and NAPALM_PASSWORD variables. Since netbox allows to store login credentials per device I was under the impression that I could use these for logging into devices, as I won't be able to use a single user/passwd combination for all of them.

Am I wrong with this?
