<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=863373211-10102003>Here
is how I do it. I have setup a guest user and admin accounts as you have
described. We have a front-end portal with links to all of our
applications, including Nagios. If you had two links to Nagios one being
guest access and the other being admin access you could then pass the guest
un/pw through the link.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I would like to use the "guest"
account (default user ID) for general access and specific ID's for admins.
I have enabled the "guest ID in the cgi configuration file and I
currently have authorization working properly but I don't want general users
to have to enter the guest ID. I have looked at the options for the
.htaccess file and for the httpd.conf (apache) file and cannot find a
configuration that will work.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If I remove the .htacess (or just
comment out the "required valid-user" line) the guest ID works but then I
cannot login with an admin ID. </SPAN></FONT></P>
