Nagios Support Forum

Hi everybody

I'm new in nagios and I have a problem with the authentication cgi's.

I have configured authentication with active directory in nagios xi.

When I created users using the menu "Manage Users" and I put the option Authentication Settings with the authentication type as active drectory till some days ago the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users was updated correctly.

But the new users are not added as usual , I have to make it manually

htpasswd -s /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users xxxxxxxxx

My config in nagios.conf is :

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Core"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Core"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

Do you have some idea about the problem ?

Thanks in advance

This is because in nagios XI a different file is used:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users

Your config should look like this

Hello

Thanks for the answer

I updated the file nagios.conf

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">

# Order deny,allow

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">

AuthName "Nagios Core"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users"
Require valid-user
Require all denied
</Directory>

I puted the file in the location indicated in the file but it's continue without adding the new users

thanks in advance

You will need to restart httpd Additionally, it will only add the users once the user logs into the Nagios XI UI and accepts the license. Then they will be added to /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users and able to login to the Core UI as well

Hi

It works , You are right after accept the terms the user appears in the file htpasswd.users

Thank you very much
