The following old configuration settings are overwriting the new=20
attribute based authorization. If U wouldn't like to use attribute=20
based authoriztaion then the following must be set:
authorized_for_system_information=3Dguest
authorized_for_configuration_information=3Dguest
authorized_for_system_commands=3Dguest
authorized_for_all_services=3Dguest
authorized_for_all_hosts=3Dguest
authorized_for_all_service_commands=3Dguest
authorized_for_all_host_commands=3Dguest
The attribute based authorization can be disabled if U comment out the=20
following line in cgi.cfg:
'authorization_config_file=3D/etc/niif/netm/cgiauth.cfg'
If U would like to use attribute based authorization then
- the settings must empty in cgi.cfg (listed above)
- 'entitlement' variable must be set
- 'authorization_config_file=3D/etc/niif/netm/cgiauth.cfg' must be=20
uncommented.
Feature plan:
- We'll change the attribute based variable from fix 'entitlement'=20
to adjustable in either config file. We'll designing it and send U a=20
new patch with the documentation.

We'll make a more detailed documentation in 2011 Q1.
