Re: [Nagios-users] Authentication problem (apache basic)

Thanks, I tried both, but still no luck. I added the auth lines to the /share share dir too. I also tried Patrick's AllowOverride. I now get a login prompt when I go to my main nagios page ( http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/nagios), but it doesn't appear to pass along to the CGI's or nagios can't figure it out. The authentication now works for the html (the /share stuff) as it let's me log in. If I then click on any of the cgi links, etc... I get the "you do not have permission" messages. I also still have the "Logged in as: ?" at the top of the pages (like the tac overview page).

So the pertinent lines in my httpd.conf now appear as :

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /opt/nagios/sbin
    <Directory /opt/nagios/sbin>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options +ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AuthName "Nagios Access"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
        Require valid-user
    </Directory>

Alias /nagios /opt/nagios/share
    <Directory /opt/nagios/share>
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AuthName "Nagios Access"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
        Require valid-user
    </Directory>

I think you have to add the auth lines to the /share directory too. Right
now you're only authing on the CGIs which aren't hit on your initial
connection to Nagios. (The frameset all comes from the /share dir)
