Hi,
I have read in some posts saying Nagios doesn't support SAML Authentication for SSO. is there any other way to work around or have SSO feature to NagiosXI application?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

We do not have plans to implement SSO but you can integrate with ldap or ad so users can use domain credentials to login to XI:

No. The login page submits credentials via a form to start a session and set a cookie. If you're looking to create something to work in your environment, be aware that a hidden variable call nsp_str is part of the login page and must be submitted with the credentials to get a valid session.

Good Afternoon,

Can you please give brief explanation on how NagiosXI Login page mechanism works? what all config files will be a part of NagiosXI Login?

Thanks,

A brief explanation is not possible. If you'd like to inquire about custom development to integrate Kerberos/SSO, please email [email protected]
