[Nagios-users] Unable to Login to Nagios
I am unable to login to the Nagios web GUI. When I open a browser to access Nagios, I am unable to authenticate. I haven't made any changes or addons since yesterday. What do I need to do to reset the password and login? Am I able to do this somehow in the terminal?

Since it seems we're starting from square one here, I'd recommend taking a look at your webserver's configuration, determining what it's using to authenticate, and following the trail from there. There are too many possible answers to your question to be able to give you an answer without at least a little information about your configuration. -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

Re: [Nagios-users] Unable to Login to Nagios
That is understandable. What exactly am I looking for in my webservers configuration? What information can I provide. I have a typical Nagios install with a few servers being monitored. Is there a way to reset the password for the Nagios web portal or access? Not sure how to refer to the web access of Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Unable to Login to Nagios
Default web access is controlled via apache's basic auth module, using a password file. The default name for this file is htpasswd. I would look in your apache and nagios directories for a file of that name for a start. If you can't find that, look in your apache configs and find the nagios configuration file. Inside there it should define an AuthUserFile. You'll want to edit that file. You should note that the passwords in that file are (hopefully) 1-way hashes, so you'll need to replace your existing entry with another hashed one (see the 'htpasswd' command for doing that). -Gius Kevin Mitnikc wrote: That is understandable.

Re: [Nagios-users] Unable to Login to Nagios
Hmm, I'm sure you're really not Kevin Mitnick You'll probably find a .htaccess file somewhere on your system. The exact configuration will vary depending on how you initially installed nagios. This file will contain a username, a .htpasswd file will contain the (encrypted) password. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/misc/password_encryptions.html may give you some pointers. If you care about understanding why you have a problem, and how *you* can fix it in future, people on this list will respond to polite emails. If you only care about results, I'm sure one of many people on this list will be happy to take a credit card number at $100/hour. -- In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows and gates?
