How do I set ACL?

[Araman Amru]

Hi all

Would appreciate if anybody can help explain how to use ACL..
I've read through http://wiki.oreon-project.org/index.php/Setup_oreon_ACL
But could not make sense of how to set it..
My question is :
1) If I create new oreon user ID, where do I set the password?
2) Should the user ID be nagios user ID ? (in htpasswd.users?)

Sorry, but I'm still a beginner..

Thanks

Hi,

Oreon's ACL are totaly unlinked with nagios.
Here is the way to make one :

- Options
- ACL
- add

in tab "general informaitons"
- enter a name in "ACL definition"
- select contact groups that have to be in the ACL
- click "add"

in tab "ressources"
- select the "Host Groups" and/or "hosts" to limit the ACL view
- add

in tab "topology"
- uncheck all that you don't want to apear for users in this ACL.

-click save.

Now when you login with a user that is in the contactgroup linked to the ACL, you will have a limited view to the ressources and pages.

To create a user and a contact group, you must go in :
- "configuration"
- contact groups or contacts

I hope this will help

Thanks for the reply..

Thanks NoS..

I was looking for the Login ID's password creation..
I actually found it under Configuration > Users > Contacts > <anyuser/Add> >
(under Oreon... there is Password & Confirmation field)...
I thought the password has to be specified under contacts.cfg...

That answered my question...
I can now create user to view selected view in Oreon..

Thank you very much!!!

ACL Problem.

I have created ACL properly. But when i login a acl user after creating users from configuration -> hosts -> contact...

I have set the permission to view HOME, MOnitoring, Reporting. Now when that user is loggin to oreon it can only see this three tabs. But it cant view the Host Status, none of the services are there in monitoring, Not showoing UP, DOWN of hosts, Not showing OK, Warning, Critical services.

What should i do to view all this things.
