[Nagios-users] Newbie question - authorization...
I'm experimenting with Nagios at home - I just joined a company that uses it extensively in the field and I'll need to know how it works. I've managed to install it, and I can get to the home page from my (FireFox) web browser (on systems running FC5). So far, so good. I have verified that I have a working config file. If I start Nagios, things look ok, but I don't have the authorization correct. I have added the entries in the Apache config file, and created the .htaccess entries in the nagios directories. But when I point the web browser at the nagios page, it does not ask for a login/password. Then I get authorization failures when I try to look at the various monitoring pages This is really a browser issue, not nagios I think. But it isn't something I've done before - can someone suggest what I might have set up incorrectly or point me at what needs to be added? thanks very much, nbc NAME: Neil B.

If you're not getting prompted for a login, it's not a Nagios or a browser issue -- it's a webserver configuration problem. Assuming your .htaccess files are valid, your webserver is probably configured not to use them. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie question - authorization...
That was sort of the problem - I found a typo in the .htaccess file. So the server was complaining about an invalid file definition Thanks for the help, nbc On Sat, 2006-09-16 at 13:57 -0400, Morris, Patrick wrote: If I start Nagios, things look ok, but I don't have the authorization correct.
