Nagios cannot detect user

[Matteo Corti]

Hi,

I access nagios (2.0) through Apache and SSL (see below for the
configuration)
As expected Apache asks me to authenticate when loading the page but
nagios is not able to get my user name. In the tactical overview I see:

  Updated every 90 seconds
  Nagios® - www.nagios.org
  Logged in as ?

Since I am using authentication (use_authentication=1) I am not able to
access all the information pages.

If I set the default user everything works like a charm (i.e., the rest
of the configuration seems OK).

Many thanks for any hint.

Matteo
