Jan, I have a similiar situation, checking sites that require 
authentication. I found that in some cases, I could find a url on the 
web server that I could get to w/out authentication, e.g. the login page 
;-)  I then included the url in my check definition, like so:

    check_command           check_http!-u!/goauth.html

Now i'm getting an OK instead of a WARNING.  Though this doesn't 
actually check if authentication for this web site is working, it does 
indicate whether or not the web server is serving requests properly, 
which sounds like your concern at the moment.

Hope this helps,
