HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI.

[shadih rahman]

Jimmy,
     Try the following and this should take care of it.  Thanks


ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi"


Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios"

<Directory "/usr/share/nagios">
#  SSLRequireSSL
  Options None
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  AuthName "Nagios Access"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
  Require valid-user
</Directory>
