<div class="gmail_quote"> Folks, How do I get check_http to input username/password for a particular url? This is what I am doing: # /opt/nagios/libexec/check_http -ssl -a myusername:mypassword -H myhostname.fqdn -u /websitemanager/ControllerServlet -f follow -v There is a redirection that happens and hence the -f follow switch/option, after which it gets to a login page - <a href="https://myhostname.fqdn/security/LoginFrameset.jsp" target="_blank">https://myhostname.fqdn/security/LoginFrameset.jsp</a> this is where it needs to input the username/password, but I don't think it goes past this, and I get a 'string not found' error. Here is the complete message (edited): #-----------------------------------------------------------------# GET /websitemanager/ControllerServlet HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: check_http/v1861 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11) Connection: close Host: myhostname.fqdn Authorization: Basic Y2JsdC1pdDowbjN3QHl0MWNrM3Q= <a href="http://myhostname.fqdn:80/websitemanager/ControllerServlet" target="_blank">http://myhostname.fqdn:80/websitemanager/ControllerServlet</a> is 1602 characters STATUS: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily **** HEADER **** Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:37:58 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) DAV/2 Set-Cookie: Apache=209.67.79.1.1207175878098830; path=/; expires=Fri, 02-Apr-10 22:37:58 GMT Location: <a href="https://myhostname.fqdn/security/LoginFrameset.jsp" target="_blank">https://myhostname.fqdn/security/LoginFrameset.jsp</a> Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=H0KG5KjlQH0yr7XzJWDnMhkKQRKJmLmTDvG9QQ572nX6TXTKShn3!-1692630720; path=/ Set-Cookie: BIGipServercert-1-nitracluster.dealer=1046154250.13601.0000; path=/ Connection: close Content-Type: text/html Set-Cookie: BIGipServercert-1-staticweb=878382090.20480.0000; path=/ **** CONTENT **** <html><head><title>302 Moved Temporarily</title></head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> This document you requested has moved temporarily.
