I realize this makes me "stubborn and want to invite trouble" but I want to disable authentication for the nagios GUI. In cgi.cfg I set
and
and two days ago it was working fine. Today I'm getting the "Sorry, Dave" message again. It says I'm logged in as nagiosadmin. I can't think of anything I changed in the last 2 days that would have affected this. Any ideas?

Did you think about changing the apache config file?
It normally requires a valid user as well.

yes, I edited the apache file as well. And I double checked, the apache files did not change since the last time this was working.

Have a look at the second post in this topic:

If you have done each step in the list skip to the next, but verify that the setting is there to double check.

It (finally) occurred to me to copy over the cfgs from the system it was working on and do a diff and figured out what was going on. It's working now.

Can you please post exactly what you changed? If it doesn't benefit us it will definitely benefit users looking at this topic.
