Configuration WebUI Users
All Shinken declared contacts are allowed to login the Web UI whereas an authentication module allows their login parameters.
Main authentication modules are :
- auth-cfg-password, that uses the password set in Shinken contact for authentication.
- auth-htpasswd, that uses an htpasswd file for authentication.
- auth-active-directory, that uses Active Directory for authentication (and retrieve photos).
- auth-ws-glpi, that uses Glpi Web Services for user authentication
Some properties are used by the WebUI in the Shinken contact definition.
define contact{
use generic-contact
contact_name admin
alias Administrator
email shinken@localhost
pager 0600000000 ; contact phone number
password admin
is_admin 1
can_submit_commands 0
expert 1
}
password is required if you use the auth-cfg-password module. is_admin to define the user as an administrator can_submit_commands indicates that the user can launch commands on the elements.
An administrator user is allowed to see all the elements. A non administrator user (user) is only allowed to see the elements he is attached to.
An expert user ... to be defined ! Shinken contact owns this property ...
The user picture used in the Web UI are locally stored in a directory defined in the webui.cfg file (photos_dir, that defauls to /var/lib/shinken/share/photos/).
The user picture used is a PNG file named with the login username (eg. admin.png).
If gravatar is configured in the webui.cfg file, the Web UI tries to find a Gravatar image to use for the logged in user.
If gravatar is not configured in the webui.cfg file, the Web UI tries to find an image username.png to use for the logged in user.
If none found, a default image is used:
A company logo is used in the Web UI. The default company logo is a Shinken logo.
To use another logo, the file name must be set in the webui.cfg file (company_logo) and the file must be copied in the *photos_dir (default is /var/lib/shinken/share/photos/).
