Hi Wadud, How have you setup you authentication to use certs?
Typically nagios uses .htaccess files in the examples to authenticate users. This is documented in the docs. You can use htpasswd, htdigest or dbmanage to create your user file. Just make sure you set the AuthType to the correct value. ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"> Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users Require valid-user </Directory> Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share"> Options None AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users Require valid-user </Directory> Have you setup authentication another way? If so can you post part off your config so we can help you?

Is there a way to map it to a unique username? For example, DN1 -> user1 DN2 -> user2 I can't seem to find a solution to this problem in the archives.
