HTTP authentication

About this task

If you select the HTTP Authentication radio button in the Authentication Method section, the URL Address and Domain fields appear.

Procedure

  1. Enter the URL of the login page in the URL Address text-box.
  2. To test that this is the correct URL, click Show.

    The browser opens.

    • If a standard HTTP login window pops up in front of the browser, the URL is correct.
    • If the page appears without an HTTP login window, the URL is incorrect. Correct the URL.
  3. Close the browser.
  4. If the HTTP login window requires a domain, enter the correct domain name in the Domain field.

    You can now run brute force tests using the current configuration (see Running authentication tests).
