Nagios XI AD authentication OU filter

Post by 562uned »

Hello,

we are trying to setup AD authentication but our OU has ~10000 users in it, how can we apply a filter to filter users in a specific group? We do this with other vendors and just dont see a place to do this on nagios.

That functionality doesn't currently exist. You can either manually create the users and manually set their AD auth.. OR.. by default AD limits it to 1000 users, you can adjust it like this to display all the users:

Please open up an administrative command prompt and run these commands on the domain controller to see what the settings are, this is what resolved it on mine:

Code: Select all

ntdsutil.exe [enter]
ldap policies [enter]
connections [enter]
connect to server dc1.contoso.local [enter]
quit [enter]
show values [enter]

The part that we are interested in is the MaxPageSize settings, mine was set to 1000 so I ran this:

Code: Select all

set maxpagesize to 5000 [enter]
commit changes [enter]
quit [enter]
quit [enter]
Then on your XI server, edit your /etc/php.ini, adjust the settings to what you set in the previous commands:

Code: Select all

max_input_vars = 5000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000
Then restart the HTTPD service:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
