Create Nagios Tactical Overview Logon Users

[grantdoug]

We have not been able to create new users to logon to the Tactical Overview screens, so that our acknowledgements are personalized to the individual team members.

We are trying to use douggrant for tactical overview / acknowledgements.

The terminal command we have used to create the user is
htpasswd -n douggrant
New password: <<new password goes here>>

The user douggrant works perfectly in the CCM screens.
Here is our cgi.cfg

The terminal command we have used to create the user is
htpasswd -n douggrant
New password: <<new password goes here>>

From the command documentation:

-n Don't update file; display results on stdout.

Try:

Code: Select all

htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users douggrant

htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users douggrant
