Cacti and security - file, php and mysql

Post by milldat »

After installing cacti and using it for quite some time on SuSE 9.1 it was pointed out that users can access certain links without authenticating. It is mainly the graphing area of cacti that is accessible.

I want to stop this and make sure everyone must authenticate. What is the best to "securify" the Cacti installation in terms of file permissions, php and MYSQL?

By default, cacti has a guest account that allows public access to the graphs. Disable the guest account and the public access will no longer work.

Next version of cacti will have the guest account disabled by default.
