Hello Icinga users,

I am using icingaweb2 with mysql as authentication backend. I want to display 
the hostgroup page of icingaweb on a shiny big screen in the office. Therefor I 
thought about one specific user called kiosk which has access to the icingaweb2 
page without a password or a pre defined one. The reason is, that the computer 
connected to the screen is shut down at night and needs to "autostart" a 
browser to access icingaweb2 on boot.

I tried to figure out a scenario for that by playing with authentication.ini. I 
read in the docs, that the authentication modules configured in 
authentication.ini are used in the sequence they are in the file itself. So I 
tried to combine database login and autologin - without success till now:

My authentication.ini:
[icingaweb2]
backend             = "db"
resource            = "icingaweb_db"

[autologin]
backend = external

Then I tried to configure Apache for digest authentication;
<Directory "/usr/share/icingaweb2/public">
    AuthType digest
    AuthName "Icinga Web 2"
    AuthDigestProvider file
    AuthUserFile /etc/icingaweb2/.icingawebdigest
    Require valid-user
...
</Directory>

The result is that the [icingaweb] authentication section is ignored and only 
http digest auth requests user and password. What am I doing wrong? And what 
can I do to accomplish the scenario mentioned above?
