Nagiosmobile passwords

So, where is nagiosmobile getting the authentication from? I login to nagiosmobile with my original password for XI. We have since changed to AD authentication and I'd love for nagiosmobile to use those same credentials, is that not possible?

Code: Select all
# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagiosmobile.conf
#modify this file to fit your apache configuration
Alias /nagiosmobile "/usr/local/nagiosmobile"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagiosmobile">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
######use the below lines for Nagios XI
# AuthName "Nagios Monitor XI"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users
######Use the below lines for a SOURCE install of Nagios Core
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

Mine looks about the same, but different section remarked out. So the question is, how is that htpasswd file being updated and can I get it to use the passwords people auth with to XI

That file was updated ~23 hours ago on our test XI system. I assume that there's some thing in XI that populates the file when "apply changes" are made.

All of the users in "htpasswd.users" should be able to log in nagiosmobile via basic auth.
Code: Select all
awk -F ':' '{print $1}' /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users

So what password would that use? What happens for users we import from AD?

The htpasswd file is updated with whatever password is used to login EVERY time the user logs in. When you initially import or create the user the htpasswd entry is only put into the htpasswd file on the first login and then will be updated on every successful login thereafter.
So it should use the AD password as long as they logged into the XI interface with that AD password before.

Ludmil, so shouldn't the file have a date/time equal to the last time someone logged into XI?
