Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3 ACK author
If your accounts are in LDAP you can do some scripting to sync between LDAP and Nagios. Since it seems you more care about individual usernames but not strong security, you can just make the password the same for each account when you create the HTTP AUTh account on the Nagios poller. Either that or you can use the same philosophy, script to sync Nagios user accounts from LDAP queries, and then use one of the Apache LDAP authentication modules to authenticate the user so they use their real password to authenticate. - Max -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

You can lock the author-field, but if everyone are authenticated as the same person, using the exact same credentials, there's no way of telling them apart automatically. You *could* add a check to see if the field isn't changed. That requires basic C programming skills and a rudimentary grasp of how HTML works when posting form data. If you still want help with that, you can probably contact op5 and get a consultancy price. I doubt it'll be of much use to the community, so it *will* come with a price-tag. /Andreas -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
