You can edit your web server's .htaccess or equivalent to restrict access to cmd.cgi for the user.
Create a <files> clause in apache's .conf to restrict access as shown in the the admin.cgi example: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#files -----Original Message----- From: Lori Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 9:51 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Authorization situation I'm using nagios 1.2 on gentoo. Apache authentication works great. I've been reading the docs, and found some helpful information on authorizations on this list. However, I am unable to exactly figure out the right set of directives, to achieve what I'm looking for. I have two users, A, and B. A is allowed access to everything. It can view everything, and it can submit commands for all hosts and services. B is only allowed access to some hosts and their services. I want B to only be able to view some hosts and services, and *not* be able to submit commands. I'm able to allow A access to everything, and B access to some hosts. But B is still able to issue commands Configs so far with names changed to protect the innocent J These configs all A access to everything and B access to some hosts, but still able to issue commands. What is the combination of configs needed to make it so B can only view some hosts and not issue commands and A can still do everything. cgi.cfg: authorized_for_all_services=A authorized_for_all_hosts=A authorized_for_all_service_commands=A authorized_for_all_host_commands=A contactgroups.cfg define contactgroup { name all members A,B } define contactgroup { name A-only members A } hostgroups.cfg define hostgroup foo { ... contactgroups all . ... } define hostgroup bar { ... contactgroups A-only ... } Thanks, -Lori ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
