Query regarding anonymous access to graphs in Cacti 1.1.6

Post by DJ1701 »

Freshly installed a new server with Cacti 1.1.6 and configured all my devices and graphs, brilliant... but I am having an issue allowing anonymous access to view the graphs (i.e. without requiring a log in). Can anyone please help? :) Many thanks.

Worked out that I needed to set the password for the guest account to blank.

Did this by running the following command in MySQL for the Cacti database:

update user_auth set password=md5('') where username='guest';

As I had already set Configuration -> Settings -> Authentication -> Special Users -> Guest User to Guest, and enabled the Guest account, access was instant. :)
