22
+ ----------------------
23

24
+ Each IP Device's *IP Device Info * page shows an ipdevpoll job status list in
25

26
+ **Refresh ** button to these entries.
27
+
28
+ The **Refresh ** button will ask the :doc: `/reference/ipdevpoll ` background
29
+ process to schedule the selected job for an immediate re-run. Once the refresh
30
+ is complete, the entire page will reload to show the potentially updated
31

34
+ Issuing API JSON Web tokens (JWT)
35
+ ---------------------------------
36
+
37
+ Since version 5.11, NAV has provided simple support for authorizing access to
38
+ the API using JSON Web Token signed by authorized third parties. This release
39
+ adds two new, important features to complement this:
40
+
41
+ * Signed JWTs can now include claims about read/write-level access and which
42
+ API endpoints it should be authorized to access
43
+ * NAV can now issue its own JSON Web Tokens, through the *User and API
44
+ Administration * tool.
45
+
46
+ More information about creating the necessary keys and configuring NAV to issue
47
+ JWTs can be found in :ref: `local-jwt-configuration `.
48
+
49
+ We expect to deprecate and remove the old opaque token system in future
50
+ releases, once JWT support stabilizes.

+ QR code generation
54
+ ------------------
55
+
56
+ This release adds two new QR code generation features:
57
+
58
+ * A new item ``QR Code `` has been added to the ``My stuff `` dropdown menu
59
+ present on every NAV page. Clicking this will generate and display a QR code
60
+ "bookmark" that links back to the URL you are currently viewing.
61
+ * The *Seed Database * IP Device listing tab now has a button to generate a ZIP
62
+ file archive of QR codes linking back to the selected devices. This can
63
+ potentially be used to print a bunch of QR codes to glue to your equipment,
64
+ so they can be easily scanned and found in NAV while on-site.
65
+
66
+
67
+ New API endpoints
68
+ -----------------
69
+
70
+ Two new API endpoints have been added:
71
+
72
+ * ``/api/1/netboxentity/ `` can be used to list the internal physical entities
73
+ that NAV has detected in your devices (chassis, modules, ports, fans, PSUs,
74
+ etc.), as well as their serial numbers.
75
+ * ``/api/1/vendor/ `` can be used to perform bulk OUI vendor lookups for MAC
76
+ addresses, based on NAV's downloaded IEEE OUI registry.
77
+
78
+
79
+ Insecure password warnings
80
+ --------------------------
81
+
82
+ The *User and API administration * tool account list has for several years
83
+ included warnings about users with potential password problems. One of the
84
+ typical problems are passwords that were last changed in very old versions of
85
+ NAV, which would use password hashing schemes that would no longer be
86
+ considered secure today.
87
+
88
+ These warnings seem to be too unobtrusive for administrators to notice;
89
+ therefore, this NAV release will display a warning banner to all admins on all
90
+ NAV pages that there are users with potential password problems. The individual
91
+ users that have these password problems will also be shown a similar banner
92
+ about their own account.
93
+
94
+ "Quickselect" form in *Maintenance * and *Device history * tools has been replaced
95
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
96
+
97
+ The so-called "quickselect" form, used to find and select components for adding
98
+ to maintenance tasks, or to search for device history of selected components,
99
+ was built using ancient Javascript technology about 18 years ago. It had
100
+ several issues and was really slow on NAV installations with many IP Devices,
101
+ rooms or locations.
102
+
103
+ The form has been entirely replaced by a more dynamic search tool, which will
104
+ dynamically search the NAV database for matching components as you type into
105
+ the search bar.
