Check basic authentication

Write a Review

Description:

This plugin is used to authenticate against a web page using basic authentication and to check that the web site is allowing user logins. It can also check for a string once authenticated to verify the page is as expected and produce timing information for nagios statistics.

I’ve tested it against Microsoft Exchange outlook web access (owa), Microsoft Sharepoint and Apache basic auth pages.

Last Release Date

2012-11-01

Compatible With

  • Nagios 2.x

Useful but I've some problem?
by egalstad, January 31, 2013
Hi, I tried to use it.
From command line it works great!
But when I execute plugin from nagios, I get this response:
HTTPAUTH OK: host authenticated successfully
HTTPAUTH: Critical - ExitTrap: 0 (Redefine exit to trap plugin exit with eval BLOCK) at /usr/bin/p1.pl line 61
And then service is down!
Even if I execute command in terminal with debugging options (-d or -s), "HTTPAUTH: Critical - ExitTrap...." doesn't appear...
May you help me, please?
Thanks in advance :-)

Not working
by vijragha, October 31, 2012
Hi, I tried check basic authenication. I have given wrong password also. Still it gives me successful message.

My requirement is, I have a portal, in which I want to do authentication.

Can you please explain how this check_basicauth.pl is working?

This is because your website is not using basic auth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication

Logs onto Exchange Email via OWA
by tomcelica, October 31, 2010
This works very well. We are running owa logons to Exchange 2010, X-2007, X-2003. The OWA login tells us a lot... 1. Active Directory is authenticating Accounts. 2. The Exchange Database is Mounted and accessible. 3. OWA is configured Properly and running. 4. Our Firewall is Up and conveying https traffic to our Exchange Servers.
Thanks a Lot for writing this elegant and useful plugin.
Cheers
