authenticated user always "guest"

[David Halik]

Hi all,

We've recently started to upgrade from Nagios 2.7 to 3.1 and noticed 
something odd.

We use .htaccess with Apache in the Nagios webroot to restrict 
authentication to only our internal LDAP system. Once auth'd Nagios' 
cgi.conf then defines which users have which perms. Users coming from 
our "protected" IP space don't have to auth at all and get the default 
user of guest.

This has been working fine for us over the last year or two, but since 
trying to move to 3.1 the same method and config files are giving us 
different behavior. After authenticating succesfully as user "bob", 
Nagios doesn't pick up bob as the auth'd name and just sees me as the 
default "guest". Which means bob's Nagios perms are not activated, 
guest's are.

No matter what I've tried I can't get Nagios to accept the authenticated 
user name from Apache, yet I have this working fine in 2.7 with 
identical configs.

Anyone else seen the same behavior or have any ideas? This really has me 
stumped and is a blocker for us upgrading.

Thanks,
-Dave
