Nagios doesn't know or care if it's AD or htaccess, as long as your  
authentication modules sets the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Who  
does nagios show you 'Logged in as'? If it's blank, your auth  
mechanism isn't populating the variable. If there's a username shown,  
does that name exactly match an authorized contact for that host or  
service or specifically granted permissions to submit commands in  
cgi.cfg? Do you have 'can_submit_commands 1' in the contact definitions?
