Error cgi htpasswd.users

[abe780]

Hi everybody

I'm new in nagios and I have a problem with the authentication cgi's.

I have configured authentication with active directory in nagios xi.

When I created users using the menu "Manage Users" and I put the option Authentication Settings with the authentication type as active drectory till some days ago the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users was updated correctly.

But the new users are not added as usual , I have to make it manually

htpasswd -s /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users xxxxxxxxx

My config in nagios.conf is :

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Core"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Core"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

Do you have some idea about the problem ?

Thanks in advance

This is because in nagios XI a different file is used:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users

Your config should look like this

Code: Select all

# SAMPLE CONFIG SNIPPETS FOR APACHE WEB SERVER
# Last Modified: 11-26-2005
#
# This file contains examples of entries that need
# to be incorporated into your Apache web server
# configuration file.  Customize the paths, etc. as
# needed to fit your system.

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
   AuthName "Nagios Core"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all

</Directory>

You will need to restart httpd

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

Additionally, it will only add the users once the user logs into the Nagios XI UI and accepts the license. Then they will be added to /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users and able to login to the Core UI as well
