Hi, can someone confirm me if observium supports external (apache2) authentication?, I'm looking for kerberos authentication against AD.
Regards,

I'm very interested in this as well as I'm unable to get the Observium internal authentication to work with AD. Is there any instruction on how to use the http-auth (i assume for apache2) option?
thanks, -bn 0216331C

http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Authentication
Authentication $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; # Available mechanisms: mysql (default), ldap, http-auth
Sets the authentication mechanism. Currently supported mechanisms are mysql, ldap and http-auth.
Set that option in your config.php file to http-auth and then configure as you normally would in your Apache httpd.conf or .htaccess file.

I would then assumed that any username authenticated with http-auth is then passed to Observium for authorization?

Yes. The user from http must match the Observium user. You can also set a 'guest' user to be used if there is no matching user.

I was able to get Observium to work correctly with Apache integrated with AD. However, Observium is default with non SSL configuration. Anyone know how to make it work with SSL? I've try using https://<obs> but I'm getting a blank page instead, maybe something is wrong with the rewrite?

Looked like I've got this resolved as well. My mistake.

From the docs:
"$config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; # Available mechanisms: mysql (default), ldap, http-auth"
