Web Application: Authentication

The Authentication section for a web application is defined in the sections below. This is where you create authentication records for the web application.

Each authentication record identifies credentials for one or more authentication types - Form, HTTP Basic, NTLM and Digest. To launch an authenticated web application scan, you'll be required to select a target web application and an authentication record that is defined for the target.
