Password reset?

Post by yaanatech »

Today we had a new employe reset the nagiosadmin password, which locked that account out. This happened because he thought he was accessing the lab Nagios. A simple error, but raises the question, can we prevent this from happening again?

Can I simply edit the .php and remove the link, or is there a better way to remove this feature or set it so it doesn't just reset the password? It is very dangerous.

We have a tool to reset the password from the command line if this happens

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=<newpassword>
