Disable authentication and short url

[reistlin]

Hi all.
I have debian 6 and nagios 3 core .
1) I set

• use_authentication=1
  default_user_name=guest
  authorized_for_system_information= *
  authorized_for_configuration_information=*
  authorized_for_system_commands=*
  authorized_for_all_services=*
  authorized_for_all_hosts=*
  authorized_for_all_service_commands=*
  authorized_for_all_host_commands=*

But i login in 192.168.1.1/nagios3 and it need to authorization . How to disable this?

2)How to make short url ? Connect to nagios type 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.1/nagios3

What guide did you follow? Did you setup basic authentication? (htpasswd)

It is russian article http://ubuntologia.ru/nagios
Yes, i add nagiosadmin and guest to htpasswd (htpasswd -c /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin)

Does it work without auth? Just to test that the rest of the config is working, set:

Code: Select all

use_authentication=0

And restart apache/nagios. If it is working, we will drill down the auth problem.

There are a couple of ways. Most people edit their apache vhost setup to taste. You could use dns to do so as well.

What does your nagios apache vhost config look like?

I set use_authentication=0 and restart apache/nagios, but it is still requires authentication. Maybe problem in apache ?

My 000-default file is:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	DocumentRoot /var/www
	
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /var/www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>

	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
		AllowOverride None
		Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Do you have a specific vhost file for nagios? I noticed that you have your cgi-bin directories declared, but are your nagios html files in the /var/www directory?
