Solarwinds-Multiple logins to network nodes

So it sounds like it's happening basically right away when you turn on Orion?  That tells me its probably not part of the connection profiles in NCM because those are only used with the jobs run, normally once a day.  Other places you might have entered your creds would be the ASA or Nexus credential field under the edit nodes screen (theres no central place to manage this), depending on what other modules you have you could also have them entered in a few other places.  Probably your best bet is just to get on the phone with support and have them dig through your system looking for any places that your creds exist, there are LOTS of them and it would be hard to describe over the forum.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. We only have 4 ASA's in our netowork and none of them were using the credentials for that specific feature.

I have got this resolved. I had to edit each node (105 nodes) and change the connection profile to use a new one. This fixed it. Solarwinds was no longer sending authentication request to routers to login.

I have evend tried one node at a time, and auth request were still coming in. The issue resolved after I deleted the connection profile itself. So , I had to update each node with new conn profile as I can't delete a USED conn profile. This sounds like a application related issue

You put your finger squarely on a sore spot for me--the fact that SW doesn't allow a person to globally change that CLI credential for multiple devices or device types.  Probably just as bad:  one must manually enter in the credentials separately for each device that will use them.

I've submitted a Feature Request to let a person select CLI name and password from a drop-down, but that's only a tiny start at fixing a serious inconvenience.  One ought to be able to:

• Admin > Node Management > Manage Nodes
  • Group by machine type or vendor, etc.
  • Select all the sorted nodes in a group
  • Select the CLI login name and password
  • Apply to all of the selected Nodes

• Use logic to filter nodes by defined criteria and automatically apply the CLI credentials to them all via a dropdown for name and password.  An example of this might be if you included "CFW" in the names of all your Cisco Firewalls.  You'd use the logic to select "Node Name (or system name, or caption) contains 'CFW'"  and apply CLI login credentials to all of those devices.

This should also apply to ACI login credentials:

Hopefully they consider the request. Would have saved 1 hour of my time.
