You're getting a "403 Forbidden" error from the web server. The
check_http program considers this a warning (as it should). Sounds like
your authentication is getting through (otherwise it would be a 401
error), but hitting some other access violation with your web
configuration. You need a "200 OK" response for it to go green.
