[Nagios-users] It appears as though you do not have permission

All,

Goal: to limit what services and hosts individuals can see to the hosts that they are a contact for.

The manual states:

An authenticated user is an someone who has authenticated to the web server with a username and password and has been granted access to the Nagios web interface.

An authenticated contact is an authenticated user whose username matches the short name of a contact definition in your object configuration file(s).

I have nagios set up so that users must login to get to the main page. That works

I have a user "myuser" that is a contact (the myuser name is a short name of a contact) for several hosts. myuser logins into the nagios site gets to the main page then clicks on the host detail or service detail and gets this error:

"It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested"

According to the definitions above myuser should be able to see the hosts or services they are a contact for?

thoughts?

below is my httpd.conf file

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
<Files cmd.cgi>
     AuthName "Nagios Command Access"
     AuthType Basic
     AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/.htpasswd.users
     require valid-user
</Files>
   Options ExecCGI
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

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

Alias /etc/ "/usr/local/nagios/etc/"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/etc/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /error/ "/usr/local/nagios/error/"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/error/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank you,
