<pre wrap="">i have just a question concerning the neb interface ;-)
Is it possible to create an authentification neb. What i want is to enable
ldap authentification for nagios but i didn't want to use apache
mod_auth_ldap for that, so i was wondering if i could write a ned to do
this ?

<div align="justify">What exactly do you want to authenticate access
to? Nagios itself doesn't do any authentication. There's basically two
places privileges are used:<br>
<ol>
<li>Controlling access to the web interface CGI programs.</li>
<li> Receiving passive check results remotely.</li>
</ol>
Neither of these really have anything to do with the main Nagios
daemon. Access to the web interface is controlled by the web server and
further refined by the CGI programs themselves; authentication of
passive check results is done by whatever program is receiving them
(ncsad or something like that).<br>
<br>
By my understanding the NEB modules plug in to the Nagios daemon itself
and have nothing to do with the CGI's directly. Why don't you want to
use Apache to do the authentication?<br>
