   Are you sure the variables are being set?
   I'm now sure what shell you're using, but can you try printing out the command to make sure that it run as intended?

   My full steps are included. I set the variables and still get the error. Can you please try to reproduce the error?

   I can't reproduce it because it's not valid Bash syntax and I don't know what it may be.

   If you are trying to run it as Bash, you should be getting multiple errors even prior to the script getting to Arachni, although when it does get to Arachni, all variables will be empty, thus explaining the error you're seeing

   Does that make sense?

   Ok, cool. I will test again and let you know the outcome.

   Do you have any recommendations?

   Thanks,

   You need to set the vars like so:

   SITE=example.com
   TARGET=https://example.com
   AUTOLOGINURL=
   COOKIE=
   PLATFORMS=iis,asp
   

   The Arachni options for autologin are wrong, it's missing parameters and check.

   That worked! I just modified the variables and we are doing awesome now. Thanks you can close the ticket!
