Key Findings from Initial Screenshot
Discovery #1: Authentication Use-Case
Importance: Critical (P0)
The first screenshot revealed a previously undocumented system component: the Authentication & User Login workflow. This use-case is:
- Prerequisite for all other use-cases
- System-critical - blocks all other features
- Previously undocumented - not in existing USE_CASES files
- Fully specified - 4 detailed sub-flows documented
Discovery #2: Two Authentication Paths
Finding: UI shows explicit support for:
- Microsoft/Azure AD enterprise SSO
- Traditional username/password authentication
Discovery #3: Setup Wizard
Finding: Login page includes "Setup Wizard" link for initial configuration
Discovery #4: German Language
Finding: Entire interface is in German:
- "Benutzername" (Username)
- "Passwort" (Password)
- "Anmelden" (Sign In)
- "Anmelden mit Microsoft" (Sign in with Microsoft)
Current Blocking Issue
Authentication Required for Further Screenshots
Problem: CentronNexus requires successful authentication before displaying feature modules (Ticket-Liste, Dashboard, etc.)
Current State:
- ✅ Playwright can navigate to http://localhost:8050
- ✅ Playwright can capture page content
- ❌ Cannot progress beyond login page without credentials
- ❌ Remaining 33 screenshots blocked
Solutions (in order of preference):
-
Automated Credentials (Recommended)
- Provide test user credentials - Update Playwright script to auto-login - Capture all 34 screenshots unattended - Best for CI/CD integration -
API-Level Authentication
- Use bearer token for direct API access - Skip browser-based login - Capture via network calls instead of UI - Fastest approach -
Test Environment Bypass
- Configure CentronNexus to skip auth in test mode - Or configure to trust test headers - Quick for development but not production-ready -
Manual Authentication
- User logs in manually - Run Playwright after authentication - Least automated approach
