Overview of Authentication

When you plan to use Acunetix 360 to scan a web application that contains some pages with login credentials and configurations, you first need to add those details to your Scan Options authentication fields. This is important because it enables the scanner to determine whether it is logged in or logged out during a scan.

For more information, refer to Acunetix 360 Scan Options Fields.
