Running Nagios xi without Proxy Modules

Post by KarenJ »

I am required by STIG to disable the proxy modules in the httpd.conf. I have attempted to comment out the LoadModule statements for the proxy modules and restart Apache. However, when I do that, I can no longer access the Nagios xi UI. I get a blank screen that goes nowhere. I'm never presented the Login screen. Is anyone else running with the proxy modules disabled and if so, how did you get it to work. I do have a support ticket opened but figured I'd ask while waiting for a response. Thanks!

KarenJ,

Do you have any entries in your Apache logs? I suspect you won't if the requests just end up at a dead end, but I'm curious nonetheless. I'm also curious what requests do and don't go through on the client side. Can you open the developer tools in your browser, go to the network tab and watch the requests being sent when trying to hit the Nagios xi interface?

Best Regards,

Cory Norell

This is what I see in the ssl_access_log

xxx.xx.xxx.153 - - [21/Nov/2024:11:03:31 -0500] "GET /nagiosxi/ HTTP/1.1" 200 931
xxx.xx.xxx.153 - - [21/Nov/2024:11:03:31 -0500] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 16

The same thing shows in the network tab of the developer tool.

For the record, this is what I get when the proxy modules are not commented out:
