[Fusioninventory-devel] Agent Login Failure

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
I was thinking about an large environment and the case of changing the
username or/and password. It would be nice to have an option to
"reconfigure" the clients in this way:

Server: Oldusername + oldpass was recived (check if valid)-> check if
there is a new set of username and password and give it back to the client.
Client: receives
<REPLY>
<RESPONSE>LOGIN_FAILURE</RESPONSE>
<ACCOUNDATA>
	<USERNAME>newusername</USERNAME>
	<PASWORD>newpassword</PASSOWRD>
</ACCOUNDATA>
</REPLY>
and update the configuration.
If no ACCOUNTDATA is received make another call (maybe generate an mail
to inform the admin or something simular - but this also can be done on
the server side).

But you are right @ the moment it might be enough to react to the 401.

But reconfigure (not only username/password) the clients via the normal
communication would be a nice feature.

Thank you
