Check Exchange OWA login

[delboy1966]

Does anyone know the best way of getting Nagios to login to Exchange via the web GUI and return the resulting web page?
I have to alert depending on the content on the resulting page after a successful login.

Thanks
Tony

Here's a post from @ssax on the customer section of the forums:

For checking NTLM websites you can use the attached plugin and use these commands to test it:

To just check NTLM authentication for an HTTP site:

Code: Select all

./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'domain\username' -p 'password' -U 'http://X.X.X.X/path/to/your/page.whatever'

Code: Select all

[root@xidc73 libexec]# ./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'contoso\ssax' -p 'xxXxxXxxXX' -U 'http://my.site.com/testing/page.aspx'
OK - Authenticated Successfully.

To just check NTLM authentication for an HTTPS site:

Code: Select all

./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'domain\username' -p 'password' -U 'https://X.X.X.X/path/to/your/page.whatever'

Code: Select all

[root@xidc73 libexec]# ./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'contoso\ssax' -p 'xxXxxXxxXX' -U 'https://my.site.com/testing/page.aspx'
OK - Authenticated Successfully.

To check NTLM authentication AND search the page for specific text you can use the -s option:

Code: Select all

./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'domain\username' -p 'password' -U 'http://X.X.X.X/path/to/your/page.whatever' -s 'searchword'

Code: Select all

[root@xidc73 libexec]# ./check_ntlm_website.sh -u 'contoso\ssax' -p 'xxXxxXxxXX' -U 'https://my.site.com/testing/page.aspx' -s 'border'
OK - Authenticated Successfully - Search string 'border' found.

Thank you

I'll attach the plugin he wrote below. Otherwise, you could do this with Selenium.

Hi

Thanks for the reply and the plugin.
However it doesn't seem to work as it should.

Its telling me its authenticated, however if I use the -v flag its actually returning the login page with the message;

Please enable cookies for this Web site. Cookies are currently disabled by your browser. Outlook Web App requires that cookies be enabled.

Ah, that's my mistake.

This article might be more useful:

Though it is a bit old. I stand by the statement that Selenium should be able to handle this, but it is admittedly a bit heavy in this particular case.

There's also a few plugins on the exchange you might consider:
