[Nagios-devel] Nagios and LDAP group membership

Post by Guest »

Hi,

We have Nagios 2.5 installed on a huge site. This site has a central LDAP =
directory. The goal is to manage people n this directory following their =
group membership. I know that Apache is responsible for the authentication =
and it works fine, but we would like to know if the following could be =
possible:

- a user is authenticated by LDAP in Apache and he has the permission to =
see Nagios following his group membership (that works because not lied to =
Nagios)

- Nagios is able to give authorizations (cgi.cfg) based on group membership=
and not only user id

- optional but could be nice:=20
Somehow Nagios is able to extract email address and in a file (contactlda=
pgroups.cfg) we only declare notification period and commands (so it =
replaces the file contacts.cfg).

Using this way it would be possible to manage entirely Nagios people =
through the directory and not being obliged to declare each person under =
Nagios...

Tell me if I am the only one to request for such a enhancement ?

Many thanks in advance
