Hosts and services viewable based on individual authentication

[Cian O'Sullivan]

Sorry for the attached reply mail.  My BAd.

I am Subhendu has confused me a bit with the contacts.  If I setup a contact for each host, will only the hosts viewable by that contact be visible?

IN otherwords, I add the username and password to my LDAP databse,  They authenticate, and then how does the cgi.cfg read which hosts the user logged in will be able to look at?

I had to hack the cricket cgi to do the same thing (well borrowed a few hacks and added a little garnish on the side)

Is my question making sense?

USER A  logs in, and clicks Status Summary,  it will only show his 3 circuits, and 2 servers, even though Nagios is watching 800 +

Cheers

Cian

I think he is wanting to do a more detailed scheme.  As far as I know
the contacts are setup in the cgi.cfg for all hosts and all services and
all host commands etc...  He seems to want to so things that maps a
contact to a single host or hostgroup (??).  Im not sure if its
possible, as far as I can tell you would have to hack at the cgi's
source, but I could be wrong.

Isn't this what we use contacts for? - of course you will needs more 
contact groups at that granularity.

different thread of conversation.  Breaks all the MUA and archive 
threading.
