Ngaiosxi admin password

[p13589]

I have installed Demo Nagiosxi on Redhat 5.4 , I try to login as nagiosadmin with the password supplied by the Nagiosxi “re8ue”, it did not work.
Then I reset the password for nagiosadmin, the password was mailed to root@localhost, which is not a valid user. How can I add another valid userid so that the password will be mailed to proper userid.

Try looking in /var/mail/root for the password that was mailed.

I did look in /var/mail/root, It does carry the password. I change the password for nagiosadmin by using htpasswd command so that I will nknow the passsword. But it still will not allow me to login by using the new password.

The htpasswd file is a different authentication than what you need for the XI web interface. Use the password for the nagiosadmin user to log into the web interface, and then you can reset your password from the Admin menu. Nagios XI stores it's user information in a database. The htpasswd.users file is the authentication if you need to access Nagios core running underneath XI. For user management in XI, use Admin->Manage Users after logging into XI to manage any accounts.

Ok i did reset on the password , but I dod not know the password. How can I find the password. Or how can I uninstall nagiosxi so that I will reinstall it the I will know the password.

You do know the password, because you just found it in the mail file, according to what you said.

That is what I am telling you gaing that there is no password in the mail. If I knew the password I was not going to create this problem. I do not know the password .........

Wait, what? What does this mean then?

I did look in /var/mail/root, It does carry the password.

It is not in /var/mail/root. It gives an error on root@locahost that it is not a valid user.

It was a mistake. It does not carry password.
