Yeah, I found out what was missing out eventually. But Thanks for your reply
though.

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.

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 ?
