Authentication Test Servers

Question

I\'m searching for examples of public HTTPS sites that use one of the following authentication types - these sites will be used as test servers for an appli

Answer 1

As an example for testing HTTP authentication:

http://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/authenticatedimage/default.aspx?0.7349707232788205 

In order to check a successful authorization you can enter httpwatch as the username. It doesn't matter what you enter for the password field, it just needs to be different every time.

I also put this link if the above one will not work in the future:

Answer 2

httpbin.org has public endpoints for HTTP Basic and Digest Authentication (in each example, replace :user and :passwd with the test values you'd like to check against - :qop, too, for Digest):

• /basic-auth/:user/:passwd Challenges HTTPBasic Auth.
• /hidden-basic-auth/:user/:passwd 404'd BasicAuth.
• /digest-auth/:qop/:user/:passwd Challenges HTTP Digest Auth.

Each endpoint is available in both HTTP and HTTPS.

Answer 3

To have a reliable test system, you should setup your own Apache web server. It can easily provide SSL encryption and basic/digest auth:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/auth.html

An NTLM module is available as well:

Otherwise you could run into legal troubles for violating the terms of use for public web sites.
