Authentication

Each node template, has a netconf_auth property which stores your account credentials. Use an intrinsic function to assign these to the values of secrets](/working_with/manager/using-secrets/) in your manager.

  some-implementation:
    type: cloudify.netconf.nodes.xml_rpc
    properties:
      netconf_auth:
        user: { get_secret: device_user }
        password: { get_secret: device_password }
        ip: { get_secret: list_of_fallback_ips }
        key_content: { get_secret: private_key_content }
        port: { get_secret: device_port }
