URL check with username not working

Hi, I'm trying to check that Outlook Web Access is up on our Exchange server. Ours comes up with a username/password prompt (not forms based) and I can't get it to work.



I've tried the URL check where it checks for a string (in this case Outlook) and each time it comes back with a 401 (unauthorised) error even though the username and password are correct. If I open IE and go to the URL with the same username and password it logs in fine.



I also tried an HTTP Header check and it also fails but if I try another page that doesn't need authentication the check works.



I don't need a proxy server as the servers are all on the same LAN.



Any ideas?



Thanks,



Damien.

    Make sure Outlook Web Access prompts for Basic Authentication and NTLM

    We only have Basic Authentication enabled as we get logon issues when users connect in through our firewall with NTLM enabled.



    Can it not work with just Basic Authentication? We can't change this unfortunately.



    Thanks.
