user authentication

[Tom Welsh]

You need to set it up in cgi.cfg as well look at this line and the
others following it

In a default config it is like so ....

authorized_for_system_information=* meaning everyone can see everything

I set my production servers up like so ...


authorized_for_system_information=username1,username2

I've got authentication turned on I've created a contact called
"support"

--snip--

# 'Support' contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                    support
        alias                           Network Support
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,c,r,u
        host_notification_options       d,r,u
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           support at foo.org
--snip--

I've added the user to authentication using the htpasswd command and
used the same name as in the contacts.cfg.  when this user logs on, why
can it see host and service details for hosts and services for which it
is NOT a contact?
