NagiosXI LDAP User / Pass

Post by madhukarneelaiahgari »

Hi Team,

I've a task to change the LDAP Bind DN username and password for querying our ldap server.

I couldn't find anywhere to provide username and password to authenticate to our AD server from the dashboard.

How does Nagios Xi queries the ldap server without the username and password ? Should i be looking into somewhere else ?

Regards,
Madhu.

Users' LDAP password isn't saved on XI, but the DN is and can be configured for each user. Edit the LDAP users under Admin > Users > Manage Users, and you will see that each user account has their own DN that is used to bind to LDAP with the password that is provided by the user at the XI login screen.
