is there a way to pass contact username thru url to status.cgi for authentication?

[Steve Kemp]

Im looking for a way to allow remote access to Nagios based on specific
clients (contacts) in Nagios without using http authentication

 

The remote access is being displayed in another site using <object> tags

 

I don't however want them to have access to any data not relating to their
specific servers.

 

So for example:

 

http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.c
om.au
<http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.
com.au&style=detail> &style=detail is what I would like to load but the cgis
can only show the data relating to the contacts servers.

 

In Firefox and Chrome I can pass authentication thru the browser via
http://user:pass@ but this isn't allowed in IE, and isn't ideal or secure
anyway.

 

Is there a way to pass the contact variable thru to the browser ie
http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.c
om.au
<http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.
com.au&style=detail&contact=xyz> &style=detail&contact=xyz so that while the
user isn't given a popup login box they are still restricted to only seeing
data relating to their server or servers

 

I have hunted high and low for a way around this and have had no luck so
far..

 

Regards
