Re: [Nagios-devel] patch for cgi: change authentication env-variable

Hi,
shame on me, send mail before adding text :(

The patches send could make the env-variable used in the cgi to authenticat=
e=20
the user changeable.

We had the "problem" at a customer, that he wanted to use a fancy SSO-Servi=
ce=20
with nagios.

Therefore we needed to change the HTTP_USER in cgiauth.c to the new variabl=
e=20
the SSO-Service gave us.

Don't know how many different SSO-Services are available and what variables=
=20
they use to submit the username to the services after the SSO. So we made i=
t=20
configurable in the cgi.cfg

What do you think about this? Maybe the default value should be HTTP_USER,=
=20
even if it is not configured in the configfile.
