Nice one, Danny.

I tried to use this extension in my lab (R82.10) and could not approve the required api permissions. When clicking "approve all" nothing happens.

When using it without approved permissions the SmartConsole crashed (but ok, that doesn't surprise me).

Tagging @Omer_Ran to look into this and provide a fix for SmartConsole R82.10. I had no issue with R82.

[Omer_Ran]

Hi @Danny . The "pre-approved commands" require the commands in their 'full-hyphen' names, i.e. "set-host" and "set-network-range" and not "set host" and "set network-range", etc.

@Norbert_Bohusch - I wasn't able to reproduce the crash. Can you please share the exact SmartConsole build you're using and the steps to reproduce the crash?

[Danny]

Thanks for the quick reply @Omer_Ran, I updated the json manifest file accordingly.
@Norbert_Bohusch: Could you please try again?

[Norbert_Bohusch]

SmartConsole build is 82.10.9900.408.

The steps are:
1. Add extension (btw. approving privileges which is now possible makes no difference)
2. Open "ReName" pane
3. Click in the filter field of the "ReName" pane

You see also the extension showing an error next to the refresh button.

@Omer_Ran: I troubleshooted this with @Norbert_Bohusch and we discovered that his SmartConsole installation fails to establish a read-only session. I've been able to implement a detection mechanism, which uses get-context to check for readOnlySessionID, that falls back to request-commit mode, thus showing additional user confirmation dialogues.

Très Intéressant! Merci Danny 👏

[Dennis_Renes]

Looks good Danny! I think this could be very useful in large organizations with lots of admins who use different naming conventions throughout the years.

Great and useful extension as always!
