CGI Authoristaion problem (and yes I have read the FAQ)

[Patrick Ouellet]

I have a simmilar problem.

When I try to access the CGIs I am asked for a
user/pass but anything I enter get refused and
the prompt come back until I hit cancel,
then I get authorization required page. (401)

/*
  This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the URL
"/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi". You either supplied the wrong credentials
(e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.
*/

I know I supplied good credential.. and I don't think mozilla and IE
can't understand how to suopply credentials...


Im running:

Apache 2.0.40
Nagios 1.1
Nagios Plugins 1.3.1

Here is my apache config

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/"
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
         AllowOverride AuthConfig
         order allow,deny
         allow from all
         Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
         Options None
         AllowOverride AuthConfig
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
</Directory>

I added the .htaccess file to the sbin and share directory

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

I also added two users to the htpasswd.users file
nagiosadmin & pouellet

pouellet is part of all contact groups.

pouellet is also authorized_for all options in cgi.cfg
under authorisation

Did I forgot something?

PS: I tried using no authentification (its a secure web server)
then I can access the cgi but I can't do anything...
( launch command, re-schedule check...) and I know its normal...


Thanx to everyone on the list !
