How to create another user for Nagios web interface
Hi
I am new to here and looking for help on nagios. I already installed nagios and try to create a another user for web interface. I am running on sues linux
Moderator Note: beware the -c option suggested here creates a new password file and deletes all previously stored passwords, as explained in post #7 below. Don't use -c if you want simply to add a user!
I think all you need to do is run the following commands:
i created another user however when i log on and some pages i see this msg "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested..."
how do i make new user to become super admin or do i need configuration anything?
How to create another user for Nagios web interface
You are getting that error because you haven't added the user permissions in the cgi.cfg file - There are several directives that list the names of accounts that are allowed to access various cgi functions such as
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested...
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.
If you still have some permission issue:
1. edit your cgi.cfg and add the users to the lines where "nagiosadmin" is, not all of them, it depend of the right you want to give to the user
I tried this command but it threw me an error saying "You can't edit this file". Use -c to create a new file. May i know why is it saying so as i have logged in as "root" user in my SUSE LInux?

First, please re-read the LQ rules...you have re-opened a thread that has been closed now for THREE YEARS, and hijacked it with a different question. Open your own thread for your own question. Second, the original command was from 2007...SEVEN YEARS AGO....wouldn't it seem logical that things have changed since then??

I am really sorry for re-opening this thread as i thought it was still open and users will look into it. By the way nothing has changed in the command as i was able to execute it successfully when i tried it again
