CGI accesss issue

[Arnold Wang]

Hi,

I have a Nagios 2.0B2 installed on RHEL 4.0 machine. I have CGI
authentication enabled and configured, I believe. However, I'm having
trouble access any CGI page. The follow error message was logged in the
"ssl_error_log". 

[Tue Mar 29 09:47:47 2005] [crit] [client 10.17.2.69] configuration
error:  couldn't check access.  No groups file?:
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi, referer: https://rcarhld02/nagios/side.html

I'm using MySql to store the user authentication. I verified that that
piece is working, including group authorization. What confused me was
what groups file the error message refers to? Is it the same group file
used for web authentication? If so, how to configure the Nagios to talk
to it, in my case the MySql? I looked the example in the document, it
seems to me the authentication and authorization are handled by httpd
server, is it correct?  

Thanks in advance for the helps.

 

My related configuration files looks like the following:

------ Web Authentication ------------------

<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi">

        AuthName "Nagios Access"

        AuthType Basic

 

        AuthMySQLUser authuser

        AuthMySQLPassword PaSsW0Rd

        AuthMySQLDB auth

        AuthMySQLUserTable users

        AuthMySQLNameField user_name

        AuthMySQLPasswordField user_passwd

        AuthMySQLGroupTable groups

        AuthMySQLGroupField user_group

 

        require valid-user

</Directory>

 

-------- cgi.cfg --------------------
