How can I access dashboard without authentication? 4.4.3

[pc2c]

I want to show the monitor results to a number of (trusted) people.
How is that possible without giving them all a username and password?
I know: it is not really safe.
Nagios Core 4.4.3

Thank you.

Hello @pc2c,

Nagios Core is doesn't support multi tenancy like Nagios XI. However, take a look a this page for adding authenticated contacts:

Thank you. I think I have not been completely clear. (English is not my native language) and maybe the word "dashboard" was a wrong choice.

The intention is to make the webpage public so that everyone can view the page (/ nagios) without authentication.
No authentication screen is shown.
I know it is possible in Ver3.x.x, but how they did that is not clear to me.

Hi @pc2c,

The reports in Nagios and generated by CGI's and require authentication to view. However, there's an option do to define a default username for access.

If your web server is located in a secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) or if you are using SSL, you can define a default username that can be used to access the CGIs. This is done by defining the default_user_name option in the CGI configuration file. By defining a default username that can access the CGIs, you can allow users to access the CGIs without necessarily having to authenticate to the web server. You may want to use this to avoid having to use basic web authentication, as basic authentication transmits passwords in clear text over the Internet.
