Remote web UI access

Post by jweatherell »

Team,

We are very new to using Nagios as a monitoring solution. I am currently testing out Nagios XI via VMware player. I am trying to figure out how to access the web UI via remote machines.

I am able to get to the main web UI log on page from remote machines however upon login I see the following error:

"NSP: Sorry Dave, I can't let you do that"

I am unsure of where to allow open web ui access.

Regards,
James

Hey jweatherell, we have a FAQ entry about this that you should take a look at. Hope that helps!

Interesting.

Still not having very much luck. This error is happening on all remote computers trying to login over the UI.

So, did you set the server time/timezone and the php timezone?

ronsalas,

If the windows machine the webbrowser is running on has a different time than your Nagios VM, you will see this message.

Possible solutions:

1) change the time and timezone settings to match
2) use a different browser such as firefox
