Nagvis autologin

[Alex]

Hi everyone

I want to automatically login to Nagvis with my nagiosadmin account (usually I have to log on Nagios XI first and then to Nagvis to access the maps but I would like to login just once for both)

I found this on the Nagvis FAQ:

The following mod_rewrite config maps the user "nagiosadmin" to NagVis:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLock var/log/rewrite.lck
RewriteLog /dev/null
RewriteLogLevel 0

# The following line is the really important step,
# it tells the webserver that the user "nagiosadmin" has
# successfully authenticated and is sending the request,
# regardless who is sending it really.

RewriteRule /nagvis/ - [E=REMOTE_USER:nagiosadmin]


My problem is that I don't know where I have to put this (I tried on http.conf but nothing happened)

Does anyone did configure the autologin and succeed?

This would go in /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagvis.conf

I tried to put it in /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagvis.conf, the httpd service restarted succesfully but when I go to Nagvis (from nagios XI), the username and password are still required.

Here is my nagvis.conf file:

Make sure you have all these lines commented out in the "/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagvis.conf" file:

Code: Select all

# AuthName "NagVis Access"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users
# Require valid-user

Then, add the following lines on the bottom of the file (under the "</Directory>" line):

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine   on
RewriteLock     var/log/rewrite.lck
RewriteLog      /dev/null
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteRule     /nagvis/ - [E=REMOTE_USER:nagiosadmin]

Restart apache:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

Let us know if this worked.
