Configuring Manual Browser-Based Form Authentication

The manual browser-based form authentication is another method to mimic browser interactions, but instead of using a recorded session, you have to manually specify the interactions to be taken.

From the Authentication type dropdown list, select Manual browser-based form authentication.
Fill in the fields as described below to configure a valid authentication request to be sent to the end-point API.

Field	Guidelines
Form page URL	Enter the URL of the page where the form is located.
Stage #	Each stage represents a separate login page. Add as many stages as the login flow consists of by clicking + Add stage below the Form submission section. To change the order of the stages, simply drag-and-drop them using the icon to the left of the stage name. Stage type Use the default Form interaction type unless the login page loads longer than 30 seconds (the generic timeout of the system). For a long-loading page, select the Standby type and specify the time for Bright to wait before to take the next step. Once the specified time is over, Bright sends a screenshot of the current state of the page. You can find it in the test authentication results. Elements represent the fields, buttons and other types of input given on the login page. Simply fill in the elements names and types as you see them on the login page and provide the valid values for them. You can add as many elements as you need by clicking + Add item in the lower-left corner of the section. To delete an element, click next to the corresponding element. Form submission allows you to select the action that must be performed to submit the form. If you have a single-stage login form, or you need to press Enter to switch to the next login page, select the Press Enter option. If you need to click a button to switch to the next login page, select the Click button option and enter the relevant button name.
