[Xymon] Restricting access to disable/acknowledge etc

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

On my current prod Xymon (which was built by someone no longer with the company) we are required to supply a userid/passwd for disabling or acknowledging tests.

As far as I can see this is done through the <Directory "/usr/share/xymon/cgi-secure"> part of the httpd.conf (or on my new server Xymon.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d )

I've got the conf set like the below which is the same as the working system, the /etc/xymon/ xymonpasswd file exists, is owned by apache user and had 64- permissions as required yet I'm not getting prompted for the password when I disable a test? Am I missing something?

<Directory "/usr/share/xymon/cgi-secure">
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI Includes
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
        # Apache 2.4+
        Require all granted
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </IfModule>

    AuthUserFile /etc/xymon/xymonpasswd
    AuthGroupFile /etc/xymon/xymongroups

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Xymon Administration"
    <RequireAll>
      # "valid-user" restricts access to anyone who is logged in.
      Require valid-user

      # "group admins" restricts access to users who have logged in, AND
      # are members of the "admins" group in xymongroups.
      # Require group admins
    </RequireAll>
</Directory>
