problems with the webinterface

[Dorfman, Justin]

Try creating a new user. e.g.

First, create a file called .htaccess in the
/usr/local/share/nagios/cgi-bin directory.
> If you would like to lock up your Nagios Web interface completely, you can
> also put a copy of the same file in the /usr/local/share/nagios directory.
>
> Put the following in this .htaccess file.
>
> AuthName "Nagios Access"
> AuthType Basic
> AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
> require valid-user
>
> When you're adding your first user, the password file that .htaccess refers
> to will not be present. You need to run the 'htpasswd' command with the -c option
> to create the file.
>
>
> htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users bob
> New password: ******
> Re-type new password: ******
> Adding password for user bob
>
> For the rest of your users, use the 'htpasswd' command without the '-c'
> option so as not to overwrite the existing one. After you add all of your
> users, you can go back to the Web interface which will now pop up an
> authentication dialog. Upon successful authentication, you can start using
> the Web interface. Notice that your users will only be able to access
> information for servers that they are associated with in the Nagios
> configuration files. Also, some sections of the Web interface will be
> disabled for everyone by default. If you would like to enable those, take a
> look at 'cgi.cfg' file. For instance, in order to allow the user 'bob' to
> access the'Process Info' section, uncomment the '
> authorized_for_system_information' line and add 'bob' to the list of names
> delimited by commas.
