Are you *sure* you're using basic authentication. This looks more like NTLM authentication to me. > and got : > > HTTP WARNING - 401 Unauthorized check_http does not support NTLM authentication. I expect that your server log files will have more detail but all things being equal, I'd say that the server isn't accepting basic authentication. > So i tried this to check if the username/password was correct : > > wget http://my.server/ --http-user='domain\user' --http-passwd='pass' Modern versions of wget supports 3 authentication types: basic, digest and NTLM. It tries to figure out which one to use on-the-fly based on server responses. > and got : > > HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 401 Unauthorized Failed attempt using basic authentication (?) > Reusing existing connection to my.server:80 > HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 401 Unauthorized Failed fallback attempt using digest authentication (?) > Reusing existing connection to my.server:80 > HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 200 OK Fallback success using NTLM authentication (?). > What am I supposed to understand ? Is that a flawn in check_http Basic > Authentication implementation or a IIS configuration issue ? I'd say that your IIS server isn't using basic authentication. If you're not able to specify Basic authentication on the server side, you might want to look at http://exchange.nagios.org. I believe there are a number of check_http'ish plugins there that support NTLM (by way of curl or other external program). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
