To map a password protected (authenticated) site in SortSite 1.0 or PowerMapper 4.02 and later:
- Go to Options on the View menu and make sure the Automatic Login box is checked (this option is not present and always set in SortSite 3.0 and PowerMapper 5.01 and earlier)
- Login to the site in the usual way (either via a login page or the popup password dialog)
- Once you've logged in, navigate to the page you want to start scanning from (usually the page shown after login, or the home page of the site) then map or check your site
Note: If you have a logout link inside the secure area, then the scanner may be logged out if it follows the logout link. To prevent this happening go to Block Links (click the Options command on the View menu and go to the Links tab) and add something like the following:
*logout*
This stops the scanner following links with "logout" in the URL.
