Is there a way to login to Nagios server from the backend and keep the session alive?

Question

I was told that Nagios supports basic authentication. But the following doesn't seem to work. What should be done to authenticate and keep session alive?

    s = requests.Session()
    s.auth = ('username', 'password')
    result = s.get("www.nagios_server.com")
    print result.text

Answer 1

I just found out that there is no need to do that. Nagios services can be accessed with username and ticket after configuring CGI accesses.
