wap access

[Cook, Garry]

I don't like the thought of removing authentication from the nagios
site. Besides, if you can't authenticate, how can you gain access to the
cgis and acknowledge alerts?
 
Do you think it would work using the url:
http://user@password:<site_name>/nagios/cgi-bin/statuswml.cgi
Maybe that should be 'user:password@', I don't recall, haven't used this
method in a while.
Either way, I think that this would be a better solution for gaining
access to protected sites when using a device that will not prompt for
authentication.
 
I'd test it myself but I don't have a wireless device that neglects to
prompt.

	Unfortunately, Garry, some WAP browsers will prompt, some won't.
For example, I know BlackBerry 957 handhelds will NOT prompt for
authentication, but will just give an "access denied".  BlackBerry 7210
handhelds, on the other hand, will prompt for authentication and process
it appropriately.
	 
	Hence the need in some cases to remove .htaccess...
	 
	Hope this helps.

		I use it from my Motorola T722i. Works great, uses
authentication, asks for username/password.
		Are you not getting a username/password prompt?
		Be more specific about "the .htaccess is stopping me
from accessing any info" line.

			I really want to access my nagios using wap but
the .htaccess is stopping me from accessing any info via a wap devise.
			Does anyone know a work around? 
			I really do not want to turn the authorization
off.
			Is there a way to pass a username and password
to the .htaccess via a wap devise?
			Is there anyone using wap to access Nagios?
			Thanks,
			Doug
