Nagios integration with Okta

Hi,

We are using NagiosĀ® Core Version 4.2.4. We right now use LDAP authentication for logging into the dashboard and looking at integrating nagios with Okta. I am not sure if nagios supports this. Can you let me know if this is even possible and if yes point to me to the documentation.

Thanks,
puth

I would be interested in knowing if there was a way to do this. We have NagiosXI v5.8.2 and we are just using it's builtin ability but it would be nice to have it setup so we don't have to create the account manually on the nagios.

Nagios Core doesn't really have an authentication layer. It has some light authorization, but the actual authentication is pawned-off onto httpd.

So if you can integrate Okta with nginx/httpd/etc, then yes it's possible to use it with Nagios Core.

I believe some sort of SAML solution in Nagios XI would be best handled via a feature request through the enterprise support channels. Nagios XI has its own authentication layer.
