Problems with HTTP-Authorization/Authentication

[Rene Fertig]

Hello.

I have set up a new server with Nagios 2.0 and Apache 2. Both are running, CGI 
and authorization are set up. When I access the web-interface I have been 
asked for authentication. I can enter user and password and get access, but 
nagios tells me always "Logged in as ?". So I cannot see anything.
In the apache-log-files I can see, that I logged in successfully, but it 
seems, that nagios didn't get these information.

Of cause, in cgi.cfg "use_authentication=1" is set, I have put a .htaccess 
file into /usr/local/nagios/share with the following content:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

The file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users has been created with htpasswd2 
and the users are in contacts.cfg

If I enter a wrong user and/or password at the login I get an error message 
and if I cancel the login I get "Authentication required!" So far everything 
works as expected, except the nagios didn't recognize me :-(

I've set up nagios (1.x) more than once, so I think I can handle that...

BTW: the server runs SuSE Linux 10.0 with an apache2 from the distribution, 
nagios is compiled by myself from the tarball.

Please, can someone help me to find the problem?

Bye, Rene
