Nagios Support Forum

I ran the full install and then created the nagiosadmin user by running "htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin", it promt be for a user name and password when I try to connect via my IE browser running http://<servername>/nagios but it doesn't log me in. It says "This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required." I also created a user for myself and get the same when trying to access with that login.

I want to setup basic authentication for users and want to insure that we are not passing unsecure data like userid/passwords, this type data should be encrypted and not passed in plan text, what all do I need to do to get started, up and running?

XI by default uses basic auth - the nagiosadmin user should be pre-configured. You most likely have an issue where the htpasswd file no longer matches the hash in the db. . . .

I'm in now thanks, I had to configure the Web Interface 1st.

Ah yes, there are a few final installation steps, and a terms of agreement. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to open a new thread!
