Nagios Support Forum

When you send out an SQL query, you have --username <name> in the command line. If you have users from active directory they are <domain>\<name>. Only when I try to send <domain>\<name>, nagios says that \ is an invalid character. I checked other help files and it looked like maybe i had to send it as --username <name>@<domain>, but then nagios claims @ is an invalid character.

We have multiple databases, and having one Active Directory account set up to handle these queriesl works better than entering every database and adding a local user. However, if there's no way I can tell SQL that i'm logging in with an Active Directory user, because Nagios can't submit that kind of username, then i'm forced to use a local account.

Is there a way to set the command line to submit an <domain>\<name>?

You cannot use a domain user to check an mssql db. It must be a pure database user as it is connecting directly to the db socket, not through a domain controller.

Thank you.
