I have other people who are logging in as admin so I would just like to have one universal username and password for those who need to log into Nagios.
I tried going to:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
And change the user name from there but when i changed it....it didn't allow me to actually view my network...it said I needed to change the cgi file.
Is there a simply way to do this?

Code: Select all
htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users [NewUserHere]
Running the htpasswd command again without -c should allow you add or modify users and their passwords that have access to nagios. This is all you should need to do to add more users within core.

hi.
i had the same problem. this is how i make it work
Code: Select all
htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users NEWUSER
and then add these lines to cgi.cfg and restart nagios
Code: Select all
authorized_for_system_information=NEWUSER
authorized_for_configuration_information=NEWUSER
authorized_for_system_commands=NEWUSER
authorized_for_all_services=NEWUSER
authorized_for_all_hosts=NEWUSER
authorized_for_all_service_commands=NEWUSER
authorized_for_all_host_commands=NEWUSER
I dont know if it is the right way but it works
