Install/configure ldap authentication

Post by digicruel »

Ok, so i have installed, uploaded and configured the ldap authentication (ldapauth.zip), the ldap connection seem to work. But there are two things i would like to change, first the "user dn:" Look like this, cn=[USERNAME],cn=users,dc=test,dc=random,dc=com, i would like to use the login name insted for the CN.
Also, after i authentice i get this from nagios.


The specified user account has not been setup in this application - contact your Nagios XI administrator.
Any ideas?

With this component [USERNAME] will be replaced with the login's user name.

You do however need to setup each user in XI as authorization is still done in XI, the LDAP component is just used for authentication.
