RE: [SA-list] http/auth checks not working after upgrade to v5

No, because the page I'm getting is the password challenge page - which I wasn't seeing with v4.

SA was successfully negotiating the authentication, and isn't any more.

Which means that the did GET the URL you gave but that its not containing the info you want it to have.

The check says "Got page and content is NOT ok" - which I can understand!

Not realy no.

What does SA give as error/reason for the down?

So did something fundamental change in the way SA handles URL checking authentication from v4 to v5?

It has worked fine for us up until the upgrade today.

Euh the log shows that the URL check as such works fine.

The webserver gives a 200 OK which means that the page as such does not need authentication. However looking at the content of the page, the authentication is something IN the page, which is not the same as webauthentication (like BASIC or NTLM authentication).

Hi there,

I have finally managed to get round to upgrading our production instance of SA from version 4 to version 5 - yes it has been a busy year!

The upgrade went smoothly, but there are 3 URL checks which access password-protected web pages which aren't working now, but worked very happily with version 4. Two of them are requesting pages from web-enabled Domino databases, and the other is looking at a Exchange mailbox through its web interface.

It looks to me like SA is just not doing the password authentication, since the response we get from the web server is the password form page, and that definitely doesn't contain the text we are looking for!

I looked through the mailing list archive but didn't find anything very helpful - upgraded to the beta version as suggested by Dirk in one post, but that didn't help.

I'm running SA 5.0.1758 on MS Windows 2000 server (2195) SP2

I enabled the HTTP Logging and it captures the log excerpt shown below.

Does anyone have any bright ideas how I can get these checks working again?
