Nagios XI e-directory authentication

Post by markmerchant »

Has any gotten Nagios XI to authenticate users against e-directory? Is OpenLDAP
a possiblility?

A quick look into the code suggested that only AD style LDAP integration works.

Code: Select all

find . -type f -exec grep -iH "objectclass" '{}' \;
	./nagiosxi/html/includes/components/ldap_ad_integration/basicLDAP.php:      \
	$sr = @ldap_read($this->ldapConnection, '', 'objectClass=*', $attributes);

Have you tried it from Nagios XI?

Here is an older form post that said they are using eDirectory as the (primary ldap).

Try to authenticate it and see, because I can't say for sure. I don't have an eDirectory to test with.

if you can construct the proper LDAP arguments needed to pass, you should be able to custom modify this to work with your setup. keep in mind, any updates will break this.

Thanks @ tacolover101,

Have you tried what @ tacolover101 and @kyang suggested?

Also, have you looked at this kb article...https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Switched authentication to the AD server, did not want to do any customization.
