Authentication authentication auth_cookie_flavour nmis nmis, omk User Management in NMIS8 To configure NMIS to share authentication cookies with Opmantek Applications, it is necessary that you change the configuration item auth_cookie_flavour from the default "nmis" to "omk" and set the configuration item auth_web_key to the same value as the OMK application's first omkd_secrets configuration. authentication auth_default_groups As above When accessing NMIS, you have a choice on how to handle authenticated users who do not have authorisations defined, you can reject them, or you can allow them default access. This is so that you do not have to define every user in the system if the authentication system is providing a reduced list of users, to have the users become an operator or guest by default and be able to see all groups of devices, the following would apply. 'auth_default_privilege' => 'guest', 'auth_default_groups' => 'all'. To prevent default authorisation, simply define them as blank, which is the default in the NMIS8 Install configuration. authentication auth_default_privilege As above As above for auth_default_groups authentication auth_ldap_context ou=people,dc=opmantek,dc=com As above The base of context to attempt to bind to  authentication auth_ldap_server 192.168.1.5 <ip> As above The LDAP server to use for autheitcation. authentication auth_method_1 htpasswd As above In the NMIS configuration you can configure multiple methods which are used for auth failure, so if ms-ldap fails, it will fail back to htpasswd for example. This means if you set auth_method_1 to be ldap and auth_method_2 to be htpasswd, and login with the default NMIS credentials (and you have not changed the password), the authentication for LDAP will fail, and then authentication with the users.dat will succeed and the user will be logged in. authentication auth_method_2 As above As above for auth_method_1 authentication auth_ms_ldap_base dc=corp,dc=opmantek,dc=com As above The LDAP Base to search from authentication auth_ms_ldap_dn_acc nmis As above The DomainName\account to bind with authentication auth_ms_ldap_dn_psw XXXXXXXXX As above The password for the above authentication auth_ms_ldap_server 192.168.1.5 <ip> As above The Active Directory server to use for authentication authentication auth_sso_domain As above authentication auth_user_name_regex [\w \-\.\@\`\']+ <regex> As above Email email mail_combine true true, false NMIS8 Email email mail_domain yourdomain.com <domain> As above email mail_from nmis@yourdomain.com <email> As above email mail_from_reports nmis-reports@yourdomain.com <email> As above email mail_password <password> As above email mail_server 127.0.0.1 <ip> As above email mail_server_ipproto ipv4, ipv6 As above email mail_server_port 25 <integer> As above email mail_use_tls false true, false As above email mail_user your mail username <username> As above Globals globals node_name_rule globals threshold_falling_reset_dampening globals threshold_rising_reset_dampening globals uuid_add_with_node Using Unique Identifiers (UUID) for NMIS Nodes System system demote_faulty_nodes true true, false For nodes that have been non-collectable for a long time NMIS offers to attempt collect operations only once every 24 hours. system display_status_summary false true, false NMIS Node Status system fastping_interval Added in NMIS 9.0.3 system fastping_target_interval Added in NMIS 9.0.3 system graph_cache_maxage system nettype_list wan,lan,vpn,man,san,voice,default <list> system network_viewNode_field_list status,outage,sysName,host_addr,host_addr_backup, group,customer,location,businessService,serviceStatus, nodeType,nodeModel,polling_policy,sysUpTime,sysLocation, sysContact,sysDescr,ifNumber,lastUpdate, nodeVendor,sysObjectName,roleType,netType <list> Adding or Rearranging fields in the Node Details View Controls which fields are shown in the Node View and in what order. system node_status_uses_status_summary false true, false NMIS Node Status system non_stateful_events Node Configuration Change, Node Reset, NMIS runtime exceeded <list> system os_username system polling_interval_factor 0.9 <decimal> Fraction of the polling interval after which node is considered for next poll system threshold_period-interface -15 minutes Added in NMIS 8.5 system threshold_period-pkts -15 minutes Added in NMIS 8.5 system threshold_period-pkts_hc -15 minutes Added in NMIS 8.5
