which phase of discovery are credentials required?

[Jarvis Patil]

Discovery has four phases as follows.
1. Scanning
2.Classification
3.dentification
4.Exploration
So, at which phase of discovery are credentials required?

[Raghav Sharma24 · Accepted solution]

Depends if it is a credential less discovery or not.

If it is credential less, scanning phase does not require credentials but other 3 do.

If is is not credential less, all 4 phases required credentials, your discovery will not start scanning in this case.

Please mark the answer correct/helpful accordingly.

@Jarvis Patil did this answer your query?

[Jarvis Patil]

yes , but confused,  credentials are required for only the Classification phase of discovery?

means only for this phase.

[Raghav Sharma24]

Discovery runs in phases , you need credentials for scanning as well, of it is not a credential less discovery.

Otherwise all 4 phases require credentials.

You cannot jump phases, you cannot go directly to classification without scanning. So in short all phases require credentials.
