The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) can be a powerful tool for pentesters and AppSec testing. However, some of its functionality can be a bit hard to wrap your head around at first. In this post, we will describe how to use one of the more powerful features of the software: Authentication and session management. First, we will show you how to develop an authentication script for a new, previously-unsupported authentication scheme, using the graphical ZAP interface. Afterwards, we will dive into how the same can be achieved inside the secureCodeBox using the newly-supported ZAP Automation Framework.
