Acknowledgment doesn't work

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
Acknowledgment doesn't work since yesterday.
I already created a topic about that in 2016.
The problem came from the right of user nagiosadmin.

If I ran the following command (the same proposed by the Nagioxi support) :

Code: Select all

authorized_for_read_only=nagiosadmin,nagios
[root@nagiosxi ~]# grep -i 'nagiosadmin\|authentication' /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosexploit,nagiosadmin,nagios
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosexploit,nagiosadmin,nagios
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosexploit,nagiosadmin,nagios
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosadmin
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,nagiosadmin,fgay,JUrsch2,nagiosadmin
use_authentication=1
use_ssl_authentication=0
authorized_for_read_only=nagiosadmin,nagios

I saw that authorized_for_read_only=nagiosadmin,nagios whereas (according to the solution proposed by the NagiosXI support in 2016) it should be empty

I performed the following operations (according to the solution proposed by the NagiosXI support in 2016) :
I set authorized_for_read_only=
service nagios restart

Now the acknowledgement works.

Do you have any explanation about that ?
Particularly, Is it possible that the value authorized_for_read_only changed in the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg whereas no change occured ?

Rgds,

The only place that file is edited is when setting permissions for users in Admin -> Manage Users.

You shouldn't be able to mark read only and admin at the same time.

However it is possible the the file was manually edited by someone.

Hi,
Is there another explanation about the fact that acknowledgement doesn't work anymore ?

If your previous message you said

I performed the following operations (according to the solution proposed by the NagiosXI support in 2016) :
I set authorized_for_read_only=
service nagios restart

Now the acknowledgement works.

Did something switch these back again?
