hashed passwords?

Post by UWBernie »

When Nagios XI is configured for active directory authentication, what gets hashed into the database and/or /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/htpasswd.users?

are passwords saved on the server or do they just get passed through to AD?

XI will not save the password. Each time an AD user tries to log into XI XI just passes the credentials through to the DC.

They're generated from random strings at the time that the user account is created. Index /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/ldap_ad_integration/index.php:

Code: Select all

$password = random_string(12);
