Active Directory component

[all.so.gft]

Hi,
I need to use Active Directory component but after configuration I can't do any AD login on nagiosxi website.
Moreover I can't see any log to do troubleshooting... and on your documentation I can't see any step by step configuration doc (only basic settings...and then.. ).

Thanks for support

Do you see any entries showing up in /var/log/httpd/error_log?

An important note for the AD component is that any username that you attempt to login as still needs to exist as a Nagios XI user in order for the credentials to be checked.

Thanks for your response

So if I've understand correctly I'll have:
- Nagios contact
- Nagiosxi (nagiosql) users

And to have always users updated I need to create a script that updates users on nagiosql db correct?

Thanks for support

Currently yes. Although we are currently developing a much more robust version of that component to alleviate the need for such scripts.

We've already created similar script to sync ldap user on cgi.cfg and nagiosql db tables.

On Nagios XI there are many tables related to contacts and users (on db NagiosQL): so we need to insert users using a python script that will loop all ldap user in a particular OU with admin permissions and others with user permissions.

So please could you suggest in which tables we need to insert user (important column or SQL query) and contact.

Thanks

all.so.gft,

the table your looking for is:
db_tables[DB_NAGIOSXI]["users"]

I would recommend using the built in functions in utils-users.inc.php however instead of modify the tables directly.

I've modified the AD component already to allow the import of users by container. It's still an early alpha version, but I can send you a test version if your interested in trying it out.

Sure, send me by email or upload where you want.

We'll be a good beta tester, believe me!

Thanks

Can anyone post info on how to configure via UI? Do users need to be imported? Is service account required to access AD servers from Nagios XI server?

Any assistance is appreciated!
