Introduction to OWASP ZAP

So, your mistake is that you assume the "/checkout" page is the draft checkout page you are looking for but its not
In order to find the correct page, you are expected to perform a ZAP spider attack. Authentication configurations should be there because only then ZAP will be able to fully crawl the website. After that if you look at the resources ZAP finds carefully, the correct URL should be there
Regarding configuring the ZAP for this Briefing section should guide you
To find the hidden checkout page you need to perform a spider attack with authentication settings in place

Maybe I'm getting all this wrong, but I think that the problem is that the requested page does not exists at all
Let me elaborate this a little bit more... in the lab tasks we have two pages to investigate:
/useful_admin_stuff
/chekout
You suggests that this is a problem of authentication, in this case I would get a 302 or 308, like is happening with the /useful_admin_stuff, where I can circumvent once the authentication is solved
But for /checkout
I'm just getting a 404 error like if the page doesn't exists
So? Is still something that I'm doing wrong or is the lab missing a page that should be there?

Thank you, I managed to find what I needed but just by inspecting the source code of the basket, TBH I was expecting to ZAP find the target url itself by checking the Parse HTML comments in the advanced option of the spider.. but that wasn't the case.
So Lab finished but still having the feeling that it was not because ZAP was correctly configured😅
