Hi Pete.

I have found that the IIS webserver HAS to support basic authentication and not Integrated authentication.
This unfortunately means that your username and password are sent cleartext across the network/internet.
This can be mitigated by using HTTPS or a switched network.

When using basic authentication on your webserver, the following will work:

check_http 10.1.1.1 -a NTDomain\\user:password

(note the escaped backslash)

I have tested it on one of my servers and it works for me.

Regards,
  Andrew.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http with authentication

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a check_http command with authentication on an IIS 
server that requires the NT domain to be entered as part of the 
authentication.

The command I am using is :-

check_http 10.1.1.1 -a NTdomain\user:password

I can't seem to get this to authenticate via Nagios (always returns 
401), although it works fine in Firefox/Netscape/Mozilla browsers. I've 
tried escaping the \, quotes, and a few other things, to no avail.

Has anybody managed to do this before, or is the only way to get this to 
work to use a "-e 401" option on the command, and expect a "not 
authorised" message?
