Problem with Web Application Login

Subject: Problem with Web Application Login
Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 15:41:54 -0700
Hello,
 
I am scanning a web application and have entered a account and password for
HTTP login. Since the web application requires a form-based login, I have
also entered the appropriate form name (login),  URL (/), and
username/password field names (username=%USER%&password=%PASS%) in the HTTP
login section. I have specified the only ports to scan as 80 and 443.
 
However, it does not appear Nessus even tries to login to the web
application. Certainly it does not produce any web application
vulnerabilities at all. 
 
Also disconcerting is the fact that Nessus does not run nikto, even though
it is in the path.
 
I am running Nessus 2.2.8 on RH Linux FC2. 
 

Thank You

Rui Pereira
