Nagios Support Forum

We have notived that although both NagiosXI and NagiosCore support special characters in user's passwords, there's a mechanism which copies the user credentials from XI to Core, which somehow breaks access to Core features.

We're an enterprise, dealing with enterprise partners and customers & it's really embarrassing to have to tell a customer they have to remove special characters from their password.

Is this something I should "Mantis"?

I don't know what is responsible for the credential exchange, but if I did, I might have a look at fixing it myself, to improve time to fix...

What kind of hosts are you trying to monitor? How did you set up the checks? Did you run one of the pre-installed wizards in XI? Can you give us more details on the issue? Thanks!

I created a new user by going to: Admin->Manage Users->Add New User

and set it up with:

username: user
password: n@gi0s!@#$

I didn't have any issues logging it.
