Once you register a license, accessFlow automatically audits your website for compliance issues. However, sometimes you will need to set up certain parameters to enable auditing your site.

Set custom parameters to access your website for sites that are not publicly available.

Set custom parameters

To set custom access parameters

1. Go to Settings and select Pre-audit configurations.
2. Go to Site access settings and select Add to set the following. 
   • User Agent: A user agent string to mimic specific browser or device behaviors during the audit. e.g Mozilla/5.0. 
     Enter a user agent string and select Apply.
   • Cookie details: Set cookies to maintain session data or bypass restrictions during the audit. Third-party cookies aren’t supported. For websites where it is difficult to create test users, use the login cookie to gain access. Log in to your site, copy the login cookie and paste it here (max 5000 characters). If there are multiple cookies separate them with a semicolon. For example, cookie-key=cookie-value; another-cookie-key=another-cookie-value
   • Custom headers: A custom header to access your website (header-key:header-value). For example use a custom header to prevent accessFlow audits from being counted in your A/B testing.
   • Auth Prompt: Set authentication details for websites requiring manual login via pop-up prompts. Enter the authentication username and password.
3. Select Run an Audit to verify the settings.

Whitelist our IPs in your firewall

accessFlow requires access to the customer’s site to run audits. If a firewall blocks our scanner, users can now find all required IPs in one place and whitelist them.

To get the IPs

1. Go to Settings and select Pre-audit configurations.
2. Select Whitelist our IPs.
3. Copy each IP and add it to your firewall whitelist.
