Re: [Nagios-users] guest access
Can't you just do this by playing with the apache and nagios configs? I've done this in the past and it was not really a catch the only thing is that you need 2 nagios configurations files: one serving the unauthenticated content with no exec permissions, one with the authenticated content with the exec permissions (this also means that you need two set of cgi scripts reading different nagios config files). Other options is to not use apache native authentication but to create your own apache auth module. This can be done in perl using mod-perl or mod-python. In this case you setup a proper authentication mechanism under apache with a default guest user account to fallback if no proper auth is provided. This is probably nicer and provides more flexibility but is probably more complicated. Some examples of apache authentication modules: perl: apache::authcookie ( http://search.cpan.org/~mschout/Apache-AuthCookie-3.10/lib/Apache2/AuthCookie.pm ) python: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/tut-more-complicated.html I've done some code on this here: http://www.barbich.net/websvn/wsvn/nagios/nagios/doc/mod_apache_authentication/?rev=0sc=0 On 7/29/07, Paul Dugas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Been fiddling with this for a while now and am stumped.

Re: [Nagios-users] guest access
Hi Paul, Are you looking for your read-only users simply to see your host/service statuses without being able to do anything else? If so, this is what Nagios Looking Glass was designed for, and as Nagios moves into v3.0, there are plans to possibly extend this functionality to do other stuff as well, like reporting, and a full management suite. See www.nagioslookingglass.co.uk for more details and to get it. Version 2 of Nagios Looking Glass (due for previews at the end of the year/early next year) will have a complete security model and management dashboard.
