UserName and Password not Working

[devilsguest]

Can someone let me know why my username and password are not working...Everything is fine and able to see nagios asking me for Id and password but when I enter them it's giving me an error stating "Unrecognized".

[MPIvan]

Look at "/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users" to see if htpasswd.users exists if not try the following command to add user
"htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users <username>" and in the cgi.cfg file see if this is set to 1 "use_authentication=1".

i hope i help if not ... ask again

[devilsguest]

cgi.cfg is set to 1 and I see the htpasswd.users file in my /etc file. But I don't know where I am going wrong and I typed the password correctly and username also huh this is irritating why don't they work....


Even I changed the permissions to chmod 755 and still not working if I can figure out this issue then I am all done.....have been trying this since last 3days and couldn't figure out what was going wrong.

do you think Will there be any chages made to my httpd.conf file. I mean any directory permissions

Well that error is straight forward. You have a password mismatch. Rerun the htpasswd command with the "-c" switch to recreate/overwrite the file:

Code: Select all

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

[devilsguest]

Ok...here is the issue i tried creating user name and passwords lot many times but i see the same result. Even i tried the password super simple ones but they don't work...any ways will get back to you....no matter if it works or not

not Working again....Here is the log file

What does your apache vhost setup for nagios look like? Is it pointing to the right auth file (/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users) ?

[devilsguest]

Yes

[abrist]

Is there another .htpasswd file in your nagios web or share directory?

[devilsguest]

yes I have .htpasswd file in share and sbin directories

sorry but the file name is .htaccess

Still looking at 401 unauthorized.....

[abrist]

sorry but the file name is .htaccess

.htaccess is right, sorry about that. Do those files point to the right "htpasswd.users" file? Can you post your nagios vhost config and the contents of the .htaccess file in code wraps?
