Stop Weakening Security to Test Security
Shinobi authenticates like a real user. Built-in authenticator app, email inbox, and SMS number mean every MFA-protected application is testable — without disabling a single security control.
Guided Setup. Zero Scripting. Testing in Minutes.
Configuring authentication for legacy scanners is a project in itself. Shinobi replaces all of that with a guided onboarding wizard.
PASSWORD
ADMIN
USER
Provide Credentials
Enter the username and password for the account Shinobi should test with. For role-based testing, provide multiple credential sets and Shinobi will test each role's access boundaries independently.
Key Capabilities:
Single or multi-role credential sets
Secure credential storage
Role-based access boundary testing
No shared test accounts required
That's it. No scripting. No macros. No Selenium. No Playwright. No maintaining a fragile authentication pipeline.
When your authentication flow changes, you update the wizard. It takes minutes, not a sprint cycle.
What Changes When Authentication Isn't a Barrier
| Legacy DAST Scanners | Shinobi |
|---|---|
Require MFA to be disabled in test environments | Tests with MFA fully enabled — no security controls disabled |
Need custom Selenium macros or recorded login sequences to authenticate | Built-in authenticator app, email inbox, and SMS number handle all MFA methods |
Scripts break when login UI changes, requiring engineering maintenance | AI navigates login flows dynamically — no scripts to break or maintain |
Session tokens expire mid-scan, causing incomplete test coverage | Maintains valid sessions throughout testing with automatic re-authentication |
Can't handle SSO redirects across identity providers without manual configuration | Native support for Okta, Azure AD, Auth0, and all major SSO providers |
Unable to test role-based access or multi-user authorization boundaries | Tests multiple roles independently to validate access control boundaries |
Authentication setup takes hours to days per application | Guided wizard gets authentication configured in minutes |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Shinobi test applications behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD)?
Yes. Shinobi has native support for all major SSO and identity providers including Okta, Azure AD, Auth0, OneLogin, and SAML/OIDC-based providers. The AI navigates SSO redirect flows dynamically, handling multi-step authentication across identity providers without manual configuration.
How long does authentication setup take?
Minutes, not hours. Shinobi's guided wizard walks you through three simple steps: provide credentials, select your MFA method, and confirm. There's no scripting, no Selenium macros, and no browser automation to configure. When your auth flow changes, updating the wizard takes minutes.
Can Shinobi test multiple user roles in a single engagement?
Yes. You can provide multiple credential sets with different permission levels, and Shinobi will test each role's access boundaries independently. This enables comprehensive authorization testing — verifying that users can only access what they should, and that privilege escalation paths are identified.
What happens if my login flow changes after setup?
Because Shinobi's AI navigates login flows dynamically rather than relying on recorded scripts or macros, minor UI changes are handled automatically. For significant changes — a new SSO provider, updated MFA policy, or redesigned login page — you simply update the guided wizard configuration in minutes.
Full Auth. Zero Compromises.
Shinobi tests behind MFA, SSO, and complex login flows — without asking you to lower your defenses.
