Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
14. Paaano ko manmanan ang password-protected na mga website?
There are 2 types of authentication used on the web: HTTP-based and form-based, we support both methods.
A web site uses HTTP-based authentication if your browser pops up a dialog for you to enter the username and password. To monitor this type of website:
- Mag-login sa iyong account
- Pumunta sa Monitor -> Magdagdag ng Test
- Piliin ang "Magmanman ng website"
- Ilagay ang username at password at kumpletuhin ang ibang mga detalye
The second type of authentication is form-based. Websites using this method have a login prompt on the website itself, examples are web-based emails like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and GMail. This authentication method works by posting your credentials via the form to the website for verification. To monitor these websites:
- Mag-login sa iyong account
- Pumunta sa Monitor -> Magdagdag ng Test
- Piliin ang "Magmanman ng website"
- You can use Live HTTP Headers / Firebug to get the POST data.
- Instructions for using Live HTTP Headers:
- Install Live HTTP Headers to Firefox.
- Open the form submission page in Firefox. Fill in the form, but DO NOT submit yet.
- Go to Tools menu and open Live HTTP Headers. Clear any contents that is shown, so that we can see the form submission request.
- Now submit the form.
- Locate the POST request at the top of the Live HTTP Headers window.
- Copy the POST URL and data to the website test form. The POST data may look like parameter1=value1¶meter2=value2....
- Magdagdag ng mga keywords na siyang magpapahiwatig ng matagumpay na login (hal. Login successful o matagumpay ang login, o Ang kahulihulihang paglogin mo ay noong...) sa field ng mga required keywords
- Pwede mo ring idagdag ang mga keywords na maghihiwatig ng hindi matagumpay na pag-login (hal. Bad username o password, Hindi tama ang username o password) sa field ng mga excluded keywords
- Kompletuhin ang iba pang mga detalye (ngunit HUWAG ang username at password fields)
Setting up monitoring for websites with form-based authentication can be challenging. We will be glad to assist if you are unsure how to set this up. Simply send us the URL, username and password.
