> Site Analysis on Secure WebSites (HTTPS Protocol)

  Conducting Site Analysis on websites which have secure connections
  usually require the user to provide a valid username / password
  combination to be able to access the site.

  Imagine the trouble of having to log-in each time and manually
  start the site analysis from within the site.  Wouldn't it be
  better if we can automate the entire process, including the log-in
  sequence?

  By being a browser-based site analysis engine, this is all
  possible with eValid.  In fact, on websites where only a browser
  can successfully log in the browser-based approach may be the only
  possible answer to site analysis.

  Follow these simple steps to fully automate the site analysis of
  your secure site.

  * Site Analysis Settings

  (1) Determine the appropriate filters to be used and reports to be
      generated for the analysis of the site.

  (2) Make the appropriate changes for the site you plan to analyze
      in the Site Analysis Preferences.

  (3) Click on "User Profiles".

  (4) Click on "Save Profile".

  (5) Enter an appropriate profile name.

  (6) Click on "Ok" to verify that the supplied profile name is
      unique.

  (7) Click "Save".  This save your profile under the assigned name.

  * Record a Log-In Script

  (1) Navigate to your website.

  (2) Start your recording.

  (3) Proceed to the log-in page. For FORMS based pages, simply
      enter your username and password and click submit.  For pages
      which use Modal Dialogs, use the available Modal Dialog
      Commands under "Insert > ModalDialog Commands" from the eValid
      Script Window.

  (4) Stop your recording.

  * Edit the Script and Run the Site Analysis

  (1) Append the &SiteAnalysis command at the end of the script with
      the profile name, report to be generated.  The general command
      you use has this structure:

        &SiteAnalysis "Profile-Name" "Report-Type" "Base File Name"

      You might actually write something like:

        &SiteAnalysis Broken_Links 2 Test

  (2) Run your script.

  On playback, the script will perform the log-in and automatically
  begins the site analysis from within the secure site.

  Note: Additional keywords (e.g. "logout") should be added to the
  Excluded URLs list to avoid sending eValid to the logout page and
  then being logged out automatically.
