Nagios 3.0b5, cgi.cfg, web authentication still required?

Hey all,

I’m being prompted to authenticate even though I have setup the default user. Anyone got any ideas? Here are the settings I think are relevant, let me know any others are relevant.

Thanks.

From cgi.cfg
use_authentication=1
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin,nagios,*
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin,nagios,*

httpd.conf setup as follows:
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html

Try disabling authentication:
use_authentication=0

Everything is very well explained in cgi.cfg

I thought there was a way to allow viewing of services/hosts, and use authentication only for actions.

A-ha, you wanted to view everything without authentication and when you try to chenge something then it will ask you for authentication. Hm, it would be nice to have that, but I haven’t managed to do so. If anyone else knows how to acomplish this, pls, share the knowledge :slight_smile:

good question!
could be a nice implementation.

Currently, I have no idea how to do that … but I’ll try to search a little bit to see if I can find something (I’m not too confident on this, seeing how much I know about apache :))
