Config Manager Backend Password

Post by kgeiger »

I am currently testing a fairly new install of Nagios XI and the Config Manager Backend password was changed by mistake. I am currently getting an error message while trying to apply configuration changes to the db in the Config Manager and I am getting a login error message. Is there a default password for this or another location that it needs to be specified in order to apply configuration changes?

You can change it at Admin -> Reset Security Credentials -> "New Config Manager Admin Password:"

I did notice that I can change it. If I wanted to change it, is this the only place that it needs to be changed? What else would cause the error message I am getting? I have attached the error message I am getting.

Do you have a proxy enabled? Have you offloaded your mysql database? Also, please share the output of:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
 ./reconfigure_nagios.sh &> reconfig.txt
Attach the reconfig.txt, it should show us where it is getting caught up in the authentication process.
