Hi Bernd, not currently, no, but I'm delighted to hear someone is interested in working on it :)

We are planning to look at NETCONF support in 2015, which will also necessitate some of the same changes to NAV's data model for storing management credentials.

I'm not sure where or if we have documented our ideas for this, but we are thinking along the lines of a separate "management credentials" table or store, where named sets of unique credentials are stored. Each IP Device/Netbox would then have a relation to this table, so that adding a Netbox in SeedDB entails selecting a pre-stored set of credentials from a dropdown list.

We'll gladly answer any questions you might have (and I would recommend the nav-dev mailing list, or our #nav IRC channel on freenode).
