HTTP authentication is available for vulnerability scans using the VM application. Create HTTP authentication records for scanning protected portions of web sites and devices like printers and routers that require HTTP protocol level authentication. (Note that this is not Form-based authentication.) By authenticating we can perform additional vulnerability tests that we couldn't do otherwise.
- Go to Scans > Authentication.
- Go to New > Applications > HTTP, and create an HTTP record.
