You can use LDAP-authentication in Apache and file-based-authentication
parallel.


<DirectoryMatch (/usr/share/nagios3/htdocs|/usr/lib/cgi-bin/)>
	Options FollowSymLinks

	DirectoryIndex index.html

	AllowOverride AuthConfig
	Order Allow,Deny
	Allow From All

	AuthName "Nagios Access"
	AuthType Basic
	AuthUserFile /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users

	# LDAP Auth
	AuthBasicProvider ldap file
	AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
	AuthLDAPBindDN "ACCOUNT"
	AuthLDAPBindPassword "PASSWORD"
	AuthLDAPURL "ldap://dc.foobar.de:389/ou=test,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=de?sAMAccountName?sub?(ObjectClass=*)"

	require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>


BUT all your AD-users need to be a defined contact in your Nagios
configuration and one little stupid thing is: the AD doesn't care for
case-sensitivity while Apache/Nagios do. So "John", "JOHN" and "john"
can successfully login but if Nagios knows only john, then John and JOHN
wont see anything. Haven't found a solution here, I just told everyone nit
to use capitals :-)
