User authentication through LDAP groups

Post by kandatih »

Hi All,
From LDAP authentication document attached, we dont see if user authentication could be done through ldap groups. Could you please confirm if Nagios supports LDAP groups based authentication? Importing users manually means a continuous BAU task for us.

Environment :
Install - Offline
OS - RHEL 7
XI - v5.6.2
Fusion : v4

If we have a fusion and multiple XI servers, should we import users on all servers separately.
Thanks - Hari

Importing AD groups is currently a feature request. If the feature is added then it will be noted in the change log - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... NGES-5.TXT.

Thanks for the update, Cdienger.
To add a LDAP user to Nagios Fusion and XI, we need to import the user manually on both Fusion and Xi server, is that correct?
