Auth. Error from Nagios Server; won't display on Fusion

I rec]ently installed a demo copy of Nagios Fusion. I was able to configure it to monitor a NagiosX1 demo on a Centos VM and a nagios core system 3.3.1 on a solaris zone. I am unable to get it to display information from another Nagios Core server 3.3.1on a Centos VM. Iptables are off. It reports an authentication error, however I authenticate fine with given password and connect to that server seamlessly when clicking on its link on the left hand side of the configuration page.
I have re-entered the nagiosadmin password several times and even tried turning off passwords briefly, to test. I also created and entry using the hostname and anther using the ip address. What am I missing?

You'll need to set the authentication types to "BASIC" for the Core installs.

thank you, yes, that worked like a charm. Curious, the system kimsey referenced in my earlier email is also running NAGIOS CORE and authenticated using "Session" auth type. Both are running the same Nagios version, 3.3.1 but one is a Solaris zone and the other is a centos zone.

thanks again,

I'm wondering if the http return code was 200 (ok), but I don't know if you could actually retrieve data from that server for the tactical overviews. The credentials check is just looking for valid http return codes (200-300).
