Hi all,

My first post to the list - I've been harassing @icinga on ADN and 
Twitter lately, just replaced 2 standalone Nagios installations with a 
single Icinga instance with a gearman component, monitoring 166 hosts 
and 1315 services, lots of green :)

My first question then.. I want to provide icinga-web to my users, but 
we have fairly stringent security requirements. I'm currently meeting 
these requirements using Classic UI as follows:

* Any /icinga/ URL has to be requested from an approved IP (no user auth)
* cgi-bin/cmd.cgi has to be requested from an approved IP _AND_ provide 
a username authenticated against our LDAP store (using apache ldapz module)

This enables normal users to browse the GUI without having to 
authenticate (provided they're on our VPN), but requires more 
accountability when taking actions which could impact alarming.

I've stumbled across this post 
(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.icinga.user/434), which 
details how I might provide access to icinga-web using apache ldapz 
again, but I'd want to do the same trick re forcing authentication when 
running commands, but allowing read-only access when browsing.

I'm wondering whether I can do this by applying the same restriction to 
/icinga-web/modules/cronks/commandproc ?

Does anybody else have any experience doing this?

Many thanks,
David
