Nagios Log Server – Authenticating and Importing Users with AD and LDAP

This document describes how to integrate Nagios Log Server with Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). This allows user authentication and validation through the Nagios Log Server interface. This is helpful for system administrators by simplifying user management of large infrastructures and standardize credentials needed for Nagios Log Server by allowing users to authenticate with AD/LDAP credentials when logging into the system.
This document is intended for use by Nagios Administrators who want to allow users to authenticate with their AD/LDAP credentials when logging into Nagios Log Server.
