Authentication

To make your endpoint inventory and test generation better you can define what type of authentication your hosts use by editing the Metlo Config on the settings tab in your UI.

You can specify the type of authentication used on each of your hosts to improve endpoint discovery and test generation. The possible authentication types are: basic, header, jwt, session_cookie.
