Scan Protected Documents and Pages

This section gives instructions on how to configure password-protected documents for the Monsido scan.

Note: This may require the help of an advanced website administrator with HTML knowledge.

Set up the website scan with the option to scan documents toggled ON. See Configure Domain Scans for instructions on how to set up the standard scan options.

Monsido can be configured to scan content that requires authentication in two ways:

Whitelist the IP address:
1. Make a note of the IP address that the Monsido crawler uses to scan the site.
  - IP Addresses used by Monsido:
    - United States & Canada
      35.226.117.128
    - UK & Europe
      130.211.65.55
    - Australia & New Zealand
      35.189.0.46
2. Ask the IT/website responsible team to whitelist the applicable IP address.
Allow requests from the IP address (from step 1) to automatically authenticate, or ensure that requests do not require a Monsido login.
1. Add the domain to the account.
  For more information, see the User Guide chapter:
  Configure Domains.
2. Test to make sure that all of the pages in the password-protected area are located.
