NagVis default admin account

Post by jwelch »

I followed the instructions in the 'Nagios XI - Integrating NagVis' document on my Nagios XI 2012R2.9 system.
I can access NagVis using the NagVis link on the Nagios XI menu and see the default maps, but I can't manage users or edit maps.
I can access the http://myserver.mydomain/nagvis/frontend/wui/index.php page, but it also has no edit/manage capability.
(my userid is configured as a Nagios XI admin.)
Is there a default admin account I can use to setup my access for my login? Or is there a way to configure the sqlite db manually?

You may be required to edit the maps as the actual nagiosadmin account.

Hmmm...we changed the password for our nagiosadmin account. As I understand it, NavVis uses it's own authentication db.
I wasn't able to login to NagVis using the current nagiosadmin pw or the original (from memory, so I'll have to double check that).

NagVis uses basic auth, and will use whatever you have in the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users". Make sure you logged in at least once into Nagios XI as "nagiosadmin" (with the new password). Then try logging in NagVis as "nagiosadmin".

That was it. I'd changed the CCM password (I forget exactly how), but not the password in the local hash file. Once I did that I was able to login to NagVis as nagiosadmin.
Thanks!
