Yes http://nagiosuser:nagiospassword@nagioshost.domain/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi\?host=server... Note the backslash before the question mark. BTW, I think IE blocks this for what MicroSloth calls "security reasons" <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 1:48 AM, Steve Kemp <<a href="mailto:steve@dedicatedserversaustralia.com.au">steve@dedicatedserversaustralia.com.au</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-AU"><div>Im looking for a way to allow remote access to Nagios based on specific clients (contacts) in Nagios without using http authentication The remote access is being displayed in another site using <object> tags I don’t however want them to have access to any data not relating to their specific servers. So for example: <a href="http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.com.au&style=detail" target="_blank">http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.com.au&style=detail</a> is what I would like to load but the cgis can only show the data relating to the contacts servers. In Firefox and Chrome I can pass authentication thru the browser via <a href="http://user:pass@" target="_blank">http://user:pass@</a> but this isn’t allowed in IE, and isn’t ideal or secure anyway. Is there a way to pass the contact variable thru to the browser ie <a href="http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.com.au&style=detail&contact=xyz" target="_blank">http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.com.au&style=detail&contact=xyz</a> so that while the user isn’t given a popup login box they are still restricted to only seeing data relating to their server or servers I have hunted high and low for a way around this and have had no luck so far….
