<div class="gmail_quote">Hi Dustin;</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Be reminded that if you use this method (and it's what I used) then you need to remember to use a wildcard (*) in your /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg to give all who can see the CGI access via Apache the access to do it. Otherwise, Apache verifies their user/pass, but the Nagios CGI denies them.</div> <div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Allan</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 15:28, Andy Shellam <span dir="ltr"><andy-lists@networkmail.eu></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Dustin,<br> <br> As the htaccess authentication is provided by Apache, you can certainly<br> use any authentication Apache supports (LDAP, SQL etc.) See the<br> following Apache manual pages:<br> <br> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html</a> - htaccess<br> authentication howto<br> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html</a> - SQL authentication<br> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html</a> - LDAP<br> authentication<br> <br> Hope this helps.<br> <br> Regards,<br> <font color="#888888"><br> Andy<br> </font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br> <br> Phillips, Dustin B (DBphillips) wrote:<br> > Sorry if this has already been asked but I'm new to the list.<br> ><br> > Question: Is there an add-on or other method for enabling more<br> > advanced authentication for Nagios or is htaccess the only method?
