Is there any link to information about that? Like I said this is basically the 2nd day I've used Linux and Nagios so much of this seems like a different language to me. Thanks for the info. <div>On 6/21/07, GJP <<a href="mailto:gjp@gpnet.nl">gjp@gpnet.nl</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Hi Jerad, If you mean http auth, this is what I use. 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.
