Hi Guys,

I am currently using Nagios Core 4.3.4 and its working great! Kudos to developers for that first!
I read Nagios Core 4.3.0 had Logout which used Form Authentication instead of Basic which was removed from 4.3.1.
Can anyone get me a list of issues that forced this featured to be removed ?

As I am monitoring a multi-tenant servers, I would love to use this Logout feature. Before that I need to know the risk of bringing it back :ugeek:

Quite frankly it didn't work correctly in all cases and was the primary causes of 4.3.1 coming out just 2 days later.

As I recall it may have left some CGI's unsecured and people who had scripts calling core expecting basic auth from previous releases with addons that didn't work.
