Nagios Support Forum

I've just installed an 60-day eval of NLS. It was not easy. After fixing several fullinstall errors, I got it to finally succeed in installing. Now I can't log in. I see the users I create with

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/nagioslogserver/user/' -d '{"username":"someuser","password":"c678bcf3b5138b9263a95c44d28097f22c2e02877193d2c25313478821d45c19","auth_type":"admin","email":"user@example.com","language":"default","apiaccess":"1","apikey":"1396e08757545557073844695e5b64caa0bd3ad3","created":"2015-01-23 10:00:00","created_by":0,"default_dashboard":"/dashboard/elasticsearch/default"}'

in the database, but it always tells me invalid password. Help meh!

TIA!

What OS and version are you installing on, and is it a fresh OS install? We officially support CentOS and RedHat versions 6 and 7 for the latest Nagios Log Server. Any other OS in unsupported at this time, and previous modifications to the system can cause issues, typically if a security team locks down sudoers or configured selinux too tightly.

Hello sir,
The server is CentOS, release 6.3 (Final). It is not locked down to sudoer use only, for example. Thanks!

Also, when I went into the web gui and "Finished installation" by creating a username and all that, it said "Please wait..." for about 30 mins, so I restarted the host.

FYI, it recognizes the username I create, just not the password.

@mquibell, Your command is going to work if you insert 2 after /user/. Like this:

Thanks, but I did that with the nagiosadmin account. You can see where ID=2. I tried creating another user, with .../user/1 and it recognizes the name, but not the password.

I went back to creating the nagiosadmin account and then reset the password via the script. Works! Thanks!

@mquibell, Great! Do you have other questions for us or is it ok to lock this thread as resolved?
