Icinga Web 2 now ships a PasswordPolicyHook that gives administrators and module developers full control over what constitutes a valid password. Instead of hard-coding a single rule set for every deployment, the hook makes password validation an extension point: any module can register a policy, admins select the active one from the configuration UI, and Icinga Web 2 enforces it everywhere a local password is set or changed.

If you’ve copied the same icon font or the same LESS helper into two or three Icinga Web modules, you’ve hit the problem libraries exist to solve. This guide builds one from scratch: a small, self-contained icon and font pack that any number of modules can share, with no copy-pasting and no per-module registration step.

We are releasing Icinga TOTP Web v1.0.0, which adds Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) two-factor authentication to Icinga Web.

Once a year, the Icinga team goes for a team event somewhere about an hour or two away from the office. This year’s edition landed us at the Adventure Campus in Treuchtlichen, right in the middle of this year’s first heatwave. The heat was unbearable. At one point we gave up on the room we had been using and moved everyone down into a basement meeting room instead. It was quite a bit more retro in style, with an overhead projector, that we had a lot of fun with.

We are shipping a new batch of Icinga Web ecosystem releases today. Icinga Web 2.14 is the headline, bringing the baseline for two-factor authentication support, configurable password policies, a configurable Content Security Policy, and a round of developer tooling improvements that have been in the works for a while. Icinga Certificate Monitoring 1.4, Icinga Reporting 1.1, and Icinga PDF Export 0.13 join it with PHP 8.5 support across the board and a set of focused improvements for each module.
