NTLM Authentication/HTTPS monitor

Post by JBee »

I'm trying to create a monitor which should create a HTTPS connection to a web server and then authenticate/login (NTLM) and check a content string but it seems I can't get past the login window.

I tried an URL request and a HTTP monitor, but no results (Test status: Bad). The SSL certificate is OK.

Who can give me any tips to solve this problem ?

Thanks,
Jeroen

HTTP test does not support HTTPS protocol while URL test should work.
Can we access your server for testing? What version of HostMonitor do you use? Windows? Service Pack? Internet Explorer?

That's clear, but does the URL test support Basic/NTLM authentication ? There is only a reference to Basic/NTLM authentication in the HTTP test not in the URL test.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to give you access (airline/security), I can email you a export of the test(s) but without the userid/pwd.

I tested with a clean installation of 8.14 and 8.24, on my Windows XP Pro (SP2) desktop and on a Windows Server 2003 R2 server. Both have IE7 installed but return the same test status (Bad).

Yes, both tests should work with NTLM authentication.
"Bad" status means HostMonitor received some response from target host but this response indicated some error.
You may try to assign some action like "Send e-mail" to this test and use %HTTPCode% variable in e-mail template to check what exactly HTTP code was received.
