Nagvis logout

[BanditBBS]

Ok, so I am finally starting to use nagvis here and believe it or not, I only have one question(I've used it in a past life).

How on earth do you logout of NagVis? In IE if I close the window and go back in, it requests my nagvis ID/Pass again, but in Chrome it only did the first time and no matter what I try it never asks be who I am again and I can't get logged out as my nagvis admin ID.

Does clearing the browser's cookies help?

Probably, but I don't want to have to do that every time I login to nagvis on a different PC. That would probably upset some users, lol.

Agreed, we've used NagVis for awhile now and the lack of a logout option is....irritating. No one's really complained about it until recently so I've never bothered with a feature request or anything, but now that it's come up it is somewhat annoying to not have a way to logout.

FYI - I deleted cookies and I am still being auto logged in as my admin user.

You need to clear the browser cache, as basic auth tokens are stored there.

I guess I have to live with this and just don't login to nagvis as me on other people's computers. Go ahead and lock this up.

Posting this solution here for anyone that is searching around as I solved this in a ticket today.

First, open up /usr/local/nagvis/share/userfiles/templates/default.header.html

Look for -
<li><a href="#">{$langLoggedIn}: {$currentUser}</a></li>

Below it, add -
<li><a href="../../logout">Logout</a></li>

Now, open up /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagvis.conf and navigate tot the end of the file, you should see -

</IfModule>
</Directory>

You'll need to add two things here. First, above both of those lines add -

# Added for Nagvis logout button
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*logout=1.*$
RewriteRule ^/nagvis/logout$ / [R,L,co=logout:0:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/logout]
RewriteRule ^/nagvis/logout$ - [R,L,co=logout:1:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/logout]

Then, below both of the lines add -

<Location /nagvis/logout>
Require user nonexistinguser
</Location>

The bottom of the file should now look like this -

# Added for Nagvis logout button
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*logout=1.*$
RewriteRule ^/nagvis/logout$ / [R,L,co=logout:0:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/logout]
RewriteRule ^/nagvis/logout$ - [R,L,co=logout:1:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/logout]

</IfModule>
</Directory>

<Location /nagvis/logout>
Require user nonexistinguser
</Location>
