Manual Authentication
Manual Authentication in Invicti Standard is an authentication configuration that allows you to import requests from various file formats, such as Postman and Fiddler.
Invicti replays these requests at the beginning of a scan to implement authentication. You can also configure the logout detection so that Invicti replays these requests while the scan is in progress if logout occurs.
