More importantly, can I just specify a URL to check? The default site on the server in question directs you to CRM which requires auth. However on the same server we have an intranet site which doesn't require authorization. How would I go about just checking the intranet URL? <div>On 6/21/07, Jerad Riggin <<a href="mailto:jriggin@gmail.com">jriggin@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Is there any link to information about that?

The check_command in the service definition: check_command check_http_auth!host.example.com!/path!user:password And the command definition. define command{ command_name check_http_auth command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -a $ARG3$ } But if you mean authentication within a windows AD domain. Maybe Samba can help. Because then you can make your linux server a member of the AD domain. Regards, Gerard.
