IIS 6 and IE6 sending authentication via URL?

Not sure if this is IIS or IE but I tyhink it may be both. Anyway, we have a
SharePoint web site that requires a log in to access. The issue is we also
need to monitor this web site to make sure it is available. MOM has a
utility to check web pages but with this page requesting a login of course
MOM gets a 403 error. So can a login be passed somehoe within the URL you
are using to connect to the site? Also, is there a way to set a particular
hidden test web page to not use the authorization even though the rest of the
site does? Thanks!

Re: IIS 6 and IE6 sending authentication via URL?

Hi,

Are you using the Web Sites and Services Management pack for checking the
URLs?

If you are using Basic Authentication on your Sharepoint site, then you can
just inject the necessary HTTP headers into the Sequence, and MOM agent will
auth for you.

If you are using NTLM or Kerberos Auth, then the MOM Action Account needs to
have permissions to the Sharepoint site, and it will automatically handle
the authentication by itself.

HTH

Cheers
Ken

Yes, the site is using the NTLM authentication. I am also using the Web
sites and Services pack as you described. I'll check on the MOM service
account and try that. Thanks!!

Re: IIS 6 and IE6 sending authentication via URL?

Hmm... If you got a 403 response, then authorization already happened
and you need to check on server configuration. In particular, you need
to check the Web Server's log file (%windir%\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC#
\*.log) for the HTTP substatus of that 403 response, as it indicates
how you should adjust the server configuration.

If you got a 401 response, then you need to worry about user
authentication.
