Nagios XI User Account Settings

Post by edenbridge »

Hi Nagios !

I have just downloaded the latest Nagios VM solution 2012R1.6 64bit - I'm running this on VMware workstation 9

I have installed the VM, sorted the networking, can ping the node, however when I open the browser to http://192.168.194.99/nagiosxi - i get to the general home page,
I then click on 'Access Nagios' - I'm then route to the main log in screen - not the configuration screen. I dont have a username / password so cant log in ?

How can i reset / change / configure a new user / or the nagiosadmin account - to enable me to log in ?

Many thanks for your help !!

Regards
/RH

If you forgot the password that you initially set up, and now you cannot log in the web interface, you can reset the password by typing in terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=<newpassword>
where you substitute the "<newpassword>" with the actual password, for example:

Code: Select all

./reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=welcome
Hope this helps.
