SharePoint WebPart for Nagios...??? OFF-TOPIC

[scobi]

Hi, me again! Hopefully I don't get banned as "abuse"...

Anyone using SharePoint to display just a single module? Like say Host Group Summary?

I can add a WebPage in SharePoint but have 2 questions I can use help with:

1. I'd prefer just to display the single module and not the entire page with navigation. Is this possible?

2. I'd like to create a generic read-only account to be used by SharePoint so support members won't need to login to the webpage webpart. Is it possible to pass along the user information in the URL? Ultimately I'd either like no clickable links or links that will take you to the login page (as opposed to opening a new page with the generic user logged in).

Thanks as always!

I believe if you install the backend API component you can get the "ticket" from the URL's for the read only user you create and use that in the URL for authentication.

Ahhh, is this what I need?:

Thanks!

Yep, it will allow you to see a backend API URL for a specific user, which contains a ticket=

You can also use this ticket to append to a URL to authenticate

Awesome! Thanks again Scott... This really helps us since we have some desktop support personell that aren't on alerting and don't have access to the GUI... This way they can check status of items on SharePoint without having to reach out to other departments with, "Are you server guys doing something with _______"?

Really appreciate the help, this is exactly what we needed.
