user authentication in cgi.cfg

[Marc Powell]

There was certainly much more to that documentation than just changing
the value of that variable. You need to configure your web server, set
up .htaccess (which actually handles the authentication, not Nagios) and
have Nagios contacts set up properly. I'd suggest reading
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html again. I believe
that's going to solve most if not all of your problems.

Subject: [Nagios-users] user authentication in cgi.cfg


Hi ,
 
I've read the document about the cgi authentication part and it said to
set up the "use_authentication" to be anything but zero , say 1 in order
to activate the user authenticatin part and I've done just that. I've
changed the value in cgi.cfg and restart nagios service.
 
Problem is that Nagios still does not ask user to login when access web
interface.  I've looked in FAQ but there is nothing else mentioned
beside setting up that value in cgi.cfg.
 
The permission I have to nagios for cgi.cfg is 755, is that anything to
do with this ?
