Remove authentication on web login

Post by bluj »

Hi,

Is there a way to remove the login prompt when directing the browser to the nagios address. I do not need authentication as our Nagios is local only.

Well, "yes". Removing the login prompt is easy - you'd just need to change the Apache configuration to remove the Basic Auth directives. However, then you would be able to access Nagios but it would just sit there confused wondering who you were. Somewhere you'd have to change a file to fool it into bypassing the check of the server session to just assume you're 'nagiosadmin' instead, but I'm not sure where that would be.
