allow guest without authentication

You may be able to get around this by setting nagios to use an
unauthenticated guest user  and then use your web server's authentication
instead.  If using Apache, you'll create a .htacess file in
/usr/local/nagios/sbin (or wherever you main cgi files live).  Then for the
unauthenticated guest users, create a separate cgi directory (ie
/usr/local/nagios/sbin2) without the htaccess file and put only the
status.cgi and tac.cgi in there.

Subject: [Nagios-users] allow guest without authentication


Someone out there has to have done this already. What are the correct nagios
and/or apache settings that will allow a "guest user" to access nagios
without having to authenticate, yet at the same time, prompt for
authentication anyone attempting to execute a service/host/system command?

I've been playing around with basic authentication and
default_user_name=guest and still get prompted for username and password.

Any assistance would be appreciated. TIA.
Kurt
