Headless Authentication
Learn how to authenticate sessions on machines with no browser, by leveraging a second machine with a browser.
For users who wish to perform scans on machines with no browser, e.g. EC2 instances, it is possible to authenticate the scan session by leveraging another machine with a browser installed.
Start by installing the latest version of Safety:
When installed, start by authenticating the session using the new headless option.
You should see the following: “Running in headless mode. Please copy and open the following URL in a browser. Copy and paste this url into your browser.”
Copy and paste the URL from the Terminal into a browser on another machine that does have one.
Once authenticated on that browser a code will show on the success screen.
Click the JSON code on the screen. This will copy the code to the clipboard.
Paste that JSON code string into the original prompt in your Terminal.
The Safety session should now be authenticated on the machine without a browser installed.
