You have to do HTTP authentication with your web server so that nagios can
get the username of the specific user. If you use apache look for htpasswd
and HTTP basic authentication in the apache docs for an easy way of
authenticating. I'm using mod_ntlm for NTLM auth with the IE, firefox makes
some problems unfortunately.

Or you have to define a default user in cgi.cfg.

Or you allow every one to do all commands from the web interface. There are
some settings in cgi.cfg. But consider SECURITY!!!

If you get display "logged in as xyz" in the upper left box nagios has
determined the username. In your screenshot there's you have "logged in as
?". Nagios disables some command from the web interface if you are not
logged in as admin.
