Nagios user used by this extension must have READ CGI access to all host groups. The user doesn't require Frontend access or Admin permissions if this user is used only by this integration. First, we need to create a User group with correct permissions and then create a user who will be a member of created group.the state of all Nagios environment. You can use admin user or you can create a new one dedicated for the extension.

Let’s say we have nagiosadmin as an admin user and we are going to create new user dynauser

Create user

1. Locate full path to your htpasswd.users file. It’s usual locations are

• /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users

• /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

2. Let’s say path is /usr/local/nagios/etc so issue command to add user htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users dynauser

3. edit file cgi.cfg, it is located in same directory as htpasswd.users and add after your admin user newly created dynauser

• authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,dynauser

• authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin,dynauser

• authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,dynauser

• authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,dynauser
