Nagios and .htaccess

LMW · 06-01-2011, 07:29 PM

Greetings,

I'm running a bunch of web-sites on Apache web-server box (server1). There is also Nagios server on another machine and it checks http availability of our web-server (server1). I've had to implement authorization on one of our subdomains via ".htaccess" on server1 and now Nagios can't access http service on that server ( HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required). When I specify explicitly "http_check" parameters, providing username and password, it works fine. But, I guess, it's not the right way to make it work, huh? When I try to turn off ".htaccess" for particular Virtual Host by setting "AllowOverride" directive to None, I'm getting the same "401" error message in Nagios server logs. What I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Without knowing what you have configured in your .htaccess here's one way you could go which works for me:

Code:

AuthName "Solo usuarios autorizados"
AuthType Digest
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /export/home/eric/public_html/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from 192.168.0.0/24 # Private Network
Satisfy Any

Kind regards,

Eric
