[imran_khan]

Hello,

Getting same error when change the password. I am using below command to manually run the check_sharepoint.pl pulgin. Please suggest me on the same.

./check_sharepoint.pl -H example.com -u "xyz\admin" -p AbcdPqr@@ -l '/default.aspx' -s 'Staff' -t 15 -http
CRITICAL: Authentication failed for account 'xyz\admin'

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

Have you tried encasing the password definition in quotes? That is suggested by the creator of this plugin:

Notes:
- If you use special characters in your usernames and/or passwords, authentication will
have a better chance of working if you enclose them in quotes.
