Nagios XI Active Directory

[tdekoning93]

Hello,
After a few weeks messing with Nagios XI, I'm still figuring out how to get AD users managed properly. I have around 250 users which fluctuate weekly and the entire Nagios XI deployment is automated through Puppet. Now I also don't want to manage adding / removing Nagios users manually , because who likes doing repeating dumb work in 2019. Next to that upon an automated re-deployment of the Nagios server, users would have to be manually added again. As far as I can see the Nagios XI / Active Directory integration only provides this kind of integration.

I was hoping to just link security groups to Nagios, so the nested groups within that security group an authenticate with the web interface. I have been battling with the Apache LDAP integration for weeks now and can't get it to work. (https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 02#p275002). Is there any way in which I can obtain technical support that gets what I want to achieve in a working state or is it completely impossible to get active directory users linked in a proper way?

Thanks in advance.

Adding users via AD groups is currently a feature request but I don't have any information on if or when it would be included. Something available now that can make things easier is that newer versions(5.5.x) allow users and auth servers to be added via a REST api. One could write a script that would add users via this interface. Check out the Users and Auth servers section under Help > REST API Docs > System Reference for some example curl commands that do this.
