We have a Microsoft ISA proxy server for accessing the wider internet (is that the same thing as an IPS?). In order to get through that, I use a tool called "ntlmaps" which handles the connection and authentication. I installed it from the Ubuntu repositories so there's probably a prebuilt package for whichever distro you're using. Unfortunately there's no man page for it, but documentation and instructions can be readily found on Google. The config file which you'll need to edit to suit your requirements is (on Ubuntu anyway) /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg . If you choose to use ntlmaps, I'd advise you to use an account name/password without any password expiry or you'll forever be messing around resetting it every time the password expires. Last time I used ntlmaps with Nagios I found it used a lot of system resource and slowed the Nagios system down a bit - it was on an underspecced server though. YMMV. I now only use ntlmaps on the odd occasion to install new packages or update existing ones. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
