# Proxy Authentication

_I want to check the availability of an http site using heartbeat. I have setup the heartbeat like below:_

```auto
type: http
  schedule: '@every 1m'
  urls: ["https://10.123.4.56:9000", "https://10.123.4.58:9000"]
  proxy_url: ["proxy1.example.net:8080", "proxy2.example.net:8080"]
  check.request.method: GET
  check.response.status: 200

```

# Issue

_To access those proxy server I need to authenticate (ntlm). I didn't see in the documentation any options to add to the configuration which will regard to proxy authentication only to proxy urls._

_Is this option availble to authentcate to the proxy server ?_

Have you tried putting the user/password in the URL? You can see an example here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html#monitor-tcp-proxy-url](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html#monitor-tcp-proxy-url)
