Nagios Core basic authentication

[harishjadhav26]

I have created nagiosadmin user and password should be nagiosadmin.
when i logged in through nagiosadmin and password is nagiosadmin@123 then login is happening instead of show incorrect password.
Why login happen through incorrect password?

What command did you run to set the password for the user in the htpasswd file?

If you used the -d flag you would get this:

Code: Select all

-d
Use crypt() encryption for passwords. This is not supported by the httpd server on Windows and Netware. This algorithm limits the password length to 8 characters. This algorithm is insecure by today's standards. It used to be the default algorithm until version 2.2.17.

When using the crypt() algorithm, note that only the first 8 characters of the password are used to form the password. If the supplied password is longer, the extra characters will be silently discarded.
