Re: Monit/PAM: supplied wrong password for user '...' accessing monit httpd

No idea ? Nobody used groups to authentificate user ?

Hi all,

I'm trying to add auth to the httpd webapp of monit, and thus following the documentation I have the following config:

set httpd port 2812

 allow @jboss

I have a group called jboss and the user belaran is in it:

address@hidden ~]# grep jboss /etc/group

jboss:x:185:

address@hidden ~]# groups belaran

belaran : jboss

However, whenever I try to log in the webapp with this user, I get the following error message:

Monit/PAM: supplied wrong password for user 'belaran' accessing monit httpd

It sounds like something "bad" is happening between Monit and PAM, because I can log into the system without out any issue. It's just monit who fails to authentificate the user...

Any clue on what could be going wrong here ?

Thanks !
