Web user not getting passed
Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:51 am
Hello everyone.
I've just spent the better part of the last 2 days trying to get the web interface to register the nagiosadmin user when I log in.
While the authentication works fine - I get asked for the user/password when I try to access the web interface, once I try to access any of the actual reports (like status.cgi, for example), I get the standard "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested...If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file" error message.
I've also noticed that in the upper left-hand side I have "Logged in as ?" instead of the username(nagiosadmin).
I scrounged around the internets for a while and got the idea to check the global variable $REMOTE_USER, which supposedly should pass the username and all I've managed to achieve is a "Variable not set" error from PHP. For reference, the code was
The strange thing is....if I change the code to the username shows up, so it's definitely getting saved somewhere, just not in the right place.
Here is my apache configuration:
If I remove the authentication and make the default user to be nagiosadmin in the Nagios cgi config file I can access everything fine. I've double checked for all the settings in the cgi file and they're there:
all point to nagiosadmin.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm missing to get this thing to work properly?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
