Problem Definition

The REST api agent/authentication/<Agent UUID> allows to authenticate a remote agent from it's current IP. This works fine for remote agents that have static IP.

In case the remote agent has a dynamic ip that is part of a specific network, the remote agent will have to be re-authenticated every time the IP changes. From the UI this problem is resolved with the possibility to define a net-mask or allow all IP addresses however this is not possible thru the REST api.

Suggested Solution

Allow an optional argument for defining the IP and netmask in /agent/authentication/<Agent UUID> REST api
