Groundwork single sign-on over right cacti user's permission

Post by hassan1 »

I am running Groundwork 5.2.1 on sles10 machines, I have successfully integrated cacti version 0.8.6j using Groundwork wrappit and single sign-on functionality however users with limited permission on cacti e.g. view Graph only permission can do administrative task on cacti with sign sign-on.

Without Groundwork sign-on functionality users with "view graph only" permission can only view graphs but with single sign-on functionality all users’ including users with limited permissions have administrative privileges.

How can I fix this problem? Help please

Call Groundwork and tell them to fix the problem.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

I do apologies for posting this question on cacti forum however any help will be greatly appreciated a similar question is posted on Groundwork forum

when i enable (checked) "use cacti's Builtin Authentication" on Cacti, Groundwork single sign-on functionality does not work.

when "use cacti's Builtin Authentication" is disabled (unchecked) Groundwork single sign-on functionality work however all user's including users with limited permission have administrative privileges.

How can fix the problem, so that Groundwork single sign-on works and users still have their specific cacti permissions.

Can you help ? please

Sounds like you don't actually have Groundwork NMS

Hassan, am I right in saying that you are "rolling your own" here? In other words, you don't have the Groundwork NMS product (which includes Cacti), but you instead have downloaded Cacti and created a guava wrappit package.

I can help you with this issue, but I need to know if you have NMS (if so, which version?) or not. If not NMS, then which version of Cacti?

Thanks,
