No Login Required

[AmyMarie58]

I have just installed Nagios 3 on a FreeBSD 9.1 system from the ports. When I finally proceeded to where I can go to the web and access Nagios, I was able to see the page without any login required.
I have added an admin user with password but did not need it.

Can someone please help me with this.
Thank you so much for your help.

Have you previously logged in from that workstation recently? I ask because core, by default, uses basic auth. You need to either log out, clear the cache, or wait for the auth to timeout.
Can you post the apache vhost file for nagios?

No I have not logged in from this computer before, there was never a login screen, it just show the index page. nor did I ever see anything about adding nagios to the apache vhost in the installtion docs. What needs to be in there? I have added it to the apache httpd.conf file is that is what you mean. Here it is
<Directory "/usr/local/www/nagios">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
php_flag engine on
php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/local/www/nagios/:/var/spool/nagios
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/local/www/nagios/cgi-bin">
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/www/nagios/cgi-bin"
Alias /nagios "/usr/local/www/nagios"

I had to do some tweeking of that information because of it being on a FreeBSD machine.

Hello Again,

I searched the web and found this site:
http://www.xfiles.dk/guide-on-how-to-in ... n-freebsd/
It worked perfect for installing on a FreeBSD system.
Can you please include this link on your Quick Install Guide for FreeBSD users.

thank you so much for your help in all this.

Oh, I was unaware of an "official" FreeBSD install guide. Could you post a link to the official guide that you are referring to?
