Scan password-protected and internal pages

Introduction

The scan is a powerful tool that scans all pages of a website. The configurations that are explained in this document may require the help of an advanced website administrator with HTML knowledge.

This article provides instructions for admin users on how to configure password-protected pages for the scan.

Note

It is not possible to scan websites that are hosted internally, such as those sites that can only be accessed from within a private network, and which are not accessible from the public internet. These are different from password-protected pages that are on the internet but require a login, and can be reached by the public (for example, a page behind a login screen on a public website). It does not apply to internal-only sites that are completely isolated from the internet.

Set up user credentials

This section provides instructions on how to set up user credentials so that the crawler can access and scan protected pages on your website.

Select Login Type: Click the drop-down arrow and select Form.

The Forms feature lets users enter the login credentials so that the app can access and scan protected pages.
- Form Fields:
  - Input Selector: Enter the CSS selector that identifies the input selector of the form field or button, for example, #username or #password.
    Note
    "Name" can only be used if the name is unique.
    "ID" is usually unique and the preferred choice.
  - Default Value: Enter the CSS selector to identify the default value for the form field/button.
