Target Credential Issues by Authentication Protocol - Intermittent Authentication Failure

info Nessus Plugin ID 117885

Language:

Synopsis

Nessus was able to log in to the remote host using the provided credentials, but there were intermittent authentication failures.

Description

Nessus was able to successfully authenticate to the remote host on an authentication protocol at least once using credentials provided in the scan policy.

However, one or more plugins failed to authenticate to the remote host on the same port and protocol using the same credential set that was previously successful. This may indicate an intermittent authentication problem with the remote host, which could be caused by session rate limits, session concurrency limits, or other issues preventing consistent authentication success.

These intermittent authentication failures may have affected the results of some plugins. See plugin output for failure details.
