Authentication

[Jason Martens]

I am running Nagios on RH 8.0, and I use mod_auth_ldap in apache for
authentication.  Again, as Mike said, authorization is still controlled
in your nagios configuration, not apache.  Here's my httpd.conf section
for Nagios if it helps.


ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
        AuthName "Nagios Login"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthLDAPBindDN
"CN=SomeUser,OU=Users,DC=some,DC=activeDirectory,DC=com"
        AuthLDAPBindPassword Some password
        # AuthLDAPURL should point to your ldap server
        AuthLDAPURL
ldap://x.x.x.x:389/DC=some,DC=activeDirectory,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?
        require valid-user
        Options ExecCGI
</Directory>


The sAMAccountName? part is important, as that's the section of AD that
stores the login name for your AD accounts.

> Has anyone set up authentication into Nagios using active directory?  We have a Red Hat server running apache to serve out nagios.  We would like to allow our users and Admins to access nagios using their current AD accounts.  I know I can set up the apache authentication using mod_auth_ldap for the AD part, but does anything have to be done to set nagios permissions for the accounts once they are authenticated.  I am wondering about the cgi permissions and such.  Any advice from someone who has done it before would be appreciated.
