• Form Type: The type of form authentication to use, in most circumstances POST will be
used to post the parameters listed in the Form Parameters box to the site. NONE disables
form authentication and relies on HTML authentication only.
• Form Parameter: Specific form parameters for authentication should be provided here.
These parameters map to the parameters on the form. As the example above pre,
ixPerson, sPassword are all form parameters for this application. During
authentication these will be passed into the form with the provided values. As
sPassword=${session:password} shows replacement parameters can also be used,
we have used a session parameter for the form’s password field. The ixPerson parameter
is the index list for forms username dropdown list, 6 is the index of the given username, when
executed the form will lookup username 6 from the dropdown list.
• Preferred scheme: The type of HTML authentication to be used, BASIC, NTLM, DIGEST,
NONE.
• Username: The authenticating username for HTML authentication, each scheme uses this
value in different ways.
• Password: The associated password.
Depending on the site whichever authentication method is required by the server those details will be
passed forward.
