I solved this problem creating a .htaccess archive at the /usr/local/nagios/bin... Then I configured the minimal.cfg archive defining the contacts with the htpasswd.users archive's users... <div> 2006/8/31, Andy Shellam <<a href="mailto:andy.shellam-lists@mailnetwork.co.uk">andy.shellam-lists@mailnetwork.co.uk</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 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. --- Marc Powell wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: <a href="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:nagios-users-">nagios-users-</a> >> <a href="mailto:bounces@lists.sourceforge.net"> bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a>] On Behalf Of Marc Powell >> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 4:06 PM >> To: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> >> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Logged in as ? >> >> >> >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: <a href="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net"> nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a> >>> > [mailto:<a href="mailto:nagios-users-">nagios-users-</a> > >>> <a href="mailto:bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">bounces@lists.sourceforge.net </a>] On Behalf Of Rodrigo Maceno >>> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 2:05 PM >>> To: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> >>> Subject: [Nagios-users] Logged in as ? >>> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I have an archive htpasswd.users at the /usr/local/nagios/etc >>> >> directory >> >>> and when I remove the line 'default_user_name' at the cgi.cfg >>> > archive > >> and >> >>> I try to logging in the Nagios with a user, it shows me the follow >>> message: Logged in as ?.
