To guarantee comprehensive security coverage for every webpage in your application, particularly those behind login screens, Beagle Security offers four distinct methods for conducting authenticated tests.
These methods are crafted to manage a variety of authentication scenarios, providing you with the flexibility to select the optimal approach for your specific application.
The four methods include:
Login form authentication
Recorded login
Sign up
Third-party login
In this help article we will look at the third-party login method for authenticated testing.
Third-party login allows users to sign in to an application using their existing credentials from another service, such as Google, Microsoft or Facebook. This feature simplifies the sign up process and enhances security.
Steps to set up authentication using third party login
Select the application you want to run a test for and click on the User input button on the top right.

If your website contains a basic HTTP authentication, enter your username, password and click on the ‘Save and verify’ button.

Give a name for the Login and click on the Save button.
Provide the login URL, platform used, role of the user, username and password of your account in the specified platform in the designated fields. Click on Save button to complete the configuration
Finally click on Set as active button. In that pop-up that follows, provide your consent for authenticated testing by clicking on the Confirm button
Alternate method: Third party sign up
If you can't provide user credentials for your third-party account, switch to the Sign up option available right next to the Login button and just provide the sign up URL.
Beagle Security’s AI engine will try to sign up for an account on its own for the authenticated testing purpose. However, please note that this is a beta feature. It is recommended to go with the third-party login option.
