settings for logging into monit web front-end with local system credentials

[Andrew Ring]

Hello,

I would like to have the monit web frontend authenticate users based on 
our already present LDAP and/or local accounts.  I can not get the 
"allow @monit" directive to allow me to login with my normal system 
account username and password.  I am trying this one two different 
systems.  One is running CentOS 6.3 with Monit 5.1.1, with LDAP auth.  
The other is running Monit 5.4 on CentOS 6.3 with flat file 
authentication.  I have added myself to a group called "monit", and "id" 
reflects that I am in such a group.

my monit.conf contains
set httpd port 2812 and
      use address localhost
      allow localhost
      allow @monit


Thank you,
Andrew
