Logged in as ?

[Andy Shellam]

Hi,

I also have this problem.  I'd like my users to have different rights 
dependent on their login name, but I can't use anything unless 
"default_user_name" is set, and then it always assumes the role of the 
default user.
I've got a htpasswd.users file in /usr/local/nagios/etc which is 
readable and writeable by nagios, and readable to the webserver group.

All users are authenticated via an SQL authentication module, and basic 
authentication succeeds, so I can't see this would make a difference.  
Here's my SQL authentication configuration from Apache.  Note that 
AuthUserFile needs to be /dev/null or it will circumvent the SQL 
authentication and take the password from AuthUserFile instead of the 
database.  It is company policy that all users are authenticated from 
this database.

Note that basic authentication works - it seems to be Nagios is not 
reading the logged in user ID.

An example user is "andyshellam."  Which field in the contacts 
configuration needs to match the authenticated user ID?

Here are my configuration files (sensitive values replaced with 
bracketed expressions):

*/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd_auth.conf*

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
Auth_PG_host (DB_HOSTNAME)
Auth_PG_port (DB_PORT)
Auth_PG_user (DB_USER)
Auth_PG_pwd (DB_PASSWORD)
Auth_PG_database (DB_NAME)
Auth_PG_pwd_table (DB_USERS_TABLE)
Auth_PG_uid_field (DB_USER_ID_COLUMN)
Auth_PG_pwd_field (DB_PASSWORD_COLUMN)
Require valid-user

*/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users*

andyshellam:(PASSWORD)

*/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagcfg/contacts.cfg*

define contactgroup {
        contactgroup_name               NetServe
        alias                           NetServe Business and Customer 
Support
        members                         andyshellam
}

define contact {
        contact_name                    andyshellam
        alias                           andyshellam
        service_notification_period     always
        host_notification_period        always
        host_notification_options       d,u,r,f
        host_notification_commands      Send_HostAlert
        service_notification_options    w,u,r,f,c
        service_notification_commands   Send_ServiceAlert
        email                           (EMAIL_ADDRESS)
        pager                           (PAGER_TO_EMAIL_GATEWAY)
}

Many thanks

Andy.
