universal un and password

Post by benhank »

Is it possible to have nagios use single sign in?
that is : once you login to nagios, you dont have to log into core or nagvis. This would be restricted by your security access level.

We looked at this a few weeks ago, and unfortunately the answer is "no", at least without compromising XI's security.

Just so you know, if you enable "auto-login" in XI, it will retain the username/password for nagvis, etc. But this is a *very* *bad* *practice*. Locking thread.
