Hi Milan,

If asking about crawling content on a site that requires authentication, it’s not currently possible to associate specific credentials to our Search Agent. A common solution is to whitelist our crawler’s fetch requests by specific UID or origin IP block.

We’ve additional information here: [Can Swiftype index password protected sites?](https://community.swiftype.com/t/can-swiftype-index-password-protected-sites/58)
