Guest Account and authorization

[Samba]

Here is how I do it.  I have setup a guest user and admin accounts as you
have described.  We have a front-end portal with links to all of our
applications, including Nagios.  If you had two links to Nagios one being
guest access and the other being admin access you could then pass the guest
un/pw through the link.
 
i.e. the admin access link would be:
 
http://nagios.yourdomain.com/nagios/ <http://nagios.yourdomain.com/nagios/> 
 
the guest access link would be:
 
http://guest:user@nagios.yourdomain.com/nagios/
<http://guest:user@nagios.yourdomain.com/nagios/> 
 
HTH, please let me know if it works for you.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Guest Account and authorization



I would like to use the "guest" account (default user ID) for general access
and specific ID's for admins.  I have enabled the "guest ID in the cgi
configuration file and I currently have authorization working properly but I
don't want general users to have to enter the guest ID.  I have looked at
the options for the .htaccess file and for the httpd.conf (apache) file and
cannot find a configuration that will work.

 

If I remove the .htacess (or just comment out the "required valid-user"
line) the guest ID works but then I cannot login with an admin ID.  

 

Has anyone made this work?  Any suggestions?

 

-Tony
