[Nagiosplug-help] Authentication

[soeun vanny]

Hello Alex,

Thank you very much for your advices.It seems to me that the method you told
me is not kind of restricting users(when one loged in from browser) how many
hosts or services that a user is authorized to view.Instead,it's kind of
contacting,for instance, when a host is in trouble nagios will find which
hostgroup does the troubled host belongs to, and then send notifications to
the relevant contact names that are defined in the contact groups.


Again,thank you!

  Hello Vanny,

  put the user "B" into a Contact group e.g.. "Switch Admin":

  define contactgroup {
  contactgroup_name              switch-admins
  alias                          Etherswitch Administrators
  members                        nagios
  }


  put the allowed hosts into a group:

  define hostgroup {
  hostgroup_name                 switches
  alias                                  Switches
  contact_groups                  switch-admins
  members                           switch1,switch2,switch3,switch4,switch5
  }

  than the members of the group can only view the hosts where they are a
member of .

  That should work.

  with kind regards

  Alex

    Hi, everybody.

    Does anyone know how to authenticate users to view the allowed hosts and
services only? For example,

    we have two users(A&B) who are authorized to view hosts(20 hosts) and
services.A is a completely authorized user_the one that can view all the
hosts and services.B is not a completely authorized one;and we want B to
view only 5 of 20 hosts.How can I set up nagios in order to realize this ?

    Your cooperation and consideration into this matter would be highly
appreciated.


    Cordially yours,

    vanny
