How to add Linux HTTPS Server?

We are running a Linux HTTPS Server, and wanted to add to the IP Monitor. The way we wanted to add was by using username and password and see if IP Monitor can actually login in to the server.

Hello ws_is,

Simply use the HTTPS Monitor for this. It can authenticate via one of two authentication methods:

-NTLM
-Digest

More on this Monitor is found on page 108 of the ipMonitor Administrator's Guide here:

Hey Chris,

I tired adding through HTTPS but no matter what the I enter the passoword it still shows that the service is up and running. Can you tell me if there is any instruction on how to add this so I can verify my steps.

Hello ws_is,

The fact that the Monitor remains green after you give it invalid credentials tells me that the web site is not using one of the following authentication types:

-Digest

-NTLM

In order to confirm this, try the following trick:

a. Click on the Monitor name to open the "Edit Monitor" window.
b. Append "debug" to the end of the URL displayed in the browser, then hit enter.
c. A "debug" button should appear in the top grey menu. Click on this button, save the resulting text file and email it to me via the case we are working together on and/or paste it in this forum discussion.

Thank you in advance,

Everytime I try using debug at the end of the URL I still don't see any gray menu button. I am not sure if this matter, but I am still using IPMonitor 8.5 and I am just using simple HTTPS Monitor for this.
