# Authorization

These properties define the **authentication credentials** required for accessing web pages. By default, **no authorization** is used.

If the web server requests **authentication**, the system will automatically detect this request and provide the credentials specified in this section.

***

## **Authorization Settings**

### **Enable Authorization**

* Allows you to **enable/disable** authentication for accessing protected web pages.

### **User ID**

* Enter the **username** required to authenticate with the website.

### **Password**

* Enter the **password** associated with the specified username.

***

## **Authentication Methods**

If the server or proxy supports **multiple authentication schemes**, the system will choose the **most secure available method** based on the following priority ranking:

| **Authentication Method**   | **Priority Score** |
| --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Basic** (least secure)    | 1                  |
| **Digest**                  | 2                  |
| **NTLM**                    | 3                  |
| **Negotiate** (most secure) | 4                  |

***

## **Additional Notes**

* **If no credentials are provided**, the system will attempt to access the page **without authentication**.
* **If authentication is required**, the credentials specified here will be automatically submitted.
* The selected **authentication method** is determined by the **server’s configuration**.
