there are different ways to achieve that, depending on the gui used, or an external dashboard getting available data from e.g. status.dat or idoutils database. for some classic ui setups, i've used apache configuration to identify the host by its ip address and set REMOTE_USER accordingly. still, this required a different cgi path, like /icinga-dash/cgi-bin/status.cgi for icinga-web, you may setup a site also not enabling authentication. still, the problem persists - how does an application treat the default authentication mechanism and the requirement of just hiding it for once without a login form. imho that's rather impossible within the same vhost / url to the application, so my suggestion is a split into 2 applications accessible from 2 vhosts / urls. other than that, there may still be different dashboard around the corner, using status.dat or idoutils database which may work without authentication either (based on ip address then again, for security purposes). -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich mail: [email protected] twitter: https://twitter.com/dnsmichi jabber: [email protected] irc: irc.freenode.net/icinga dnsmichi icinga open source monitoring position: lead core developer url: https://www.icinga.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
