CGI permissions make me mad also! HELP!!!!

[Rick_Blair at fws.gov]

Here's my cgi.cfg:

      use_authentication=1

      authorized_for_configuration_information=rblair,jfedewa,mjones
      authorized_for_system_commands=rblair,jfedewa
      authorized_for_all_services=rblair
      authorized_for_all_hosts=rblair
      authorized_for_all_service_commands=rblair,jfedewa,mjones
      authorized_for_all_host_commands=rblair,jfedewa,mjones

Here's the box in the upper left hand corner of my browser.

Okay.. so it would appear that you've at least got HTTP Auth working
properly.
If this CGI can pick up the user you're logging in with, then the Nagios
CGI
should be able to as well.

Now I think you can concentrate on the cgi.cfg file itself.  A couple
questions..

What user does Nagios report you being logged in as?  (In the little table
top-right corner of the Tactical Overview) Is it 'rblair', 'guest', '?' or
something else?

Is default_user_name defined?  If so, what is it set to?

What are the authorized_for_* variables set to?
