Hi.
I'm having an issue with getting a HTTP probe to do a content check on a Sharepoint 2010 front end.
I have the following probe configured:
probe http TCP-HTTP-Status-Check
description "Test HTTP request to Portal Page"
interval 5
passdetect interval 30
credentials domain01\spfarmadmin password
request method get url /default.aspx
expect status 200 200
But when the probe runs I get an error code 401 in the probe details:
HQ-ACE1/Sharepoint2010# sh probe TCP-HTTP-Status-Check detail
probe : TCP-HTTP-Status-Check
type : HTTP
state : ACTIVE
description : "Test HTTP request to Portal Page"

A 401 means an authorization issue with the account to use for the credentials but this seems to work fine when I do it manually.
Is there an issue with my config or the way the ACE uses an AD user (domain\user) format for the credentials? Or something else?
Thanks.
just done some searching and the below post regarding NTLM / Basic authentication has answered my query.
