Changing the Starting URL
You can change the host, scheme, or port in the Starting URL of a configured scan, without re-recording the login, multi-step operations, or manual explore data.
About this task
If you have already recorded a login, multi-step operations, and/or a Manual Explore - and then the host, scheme or port of your Starting URL changes - requests and responses in these recordings must be updated and verified. AppScan can automatically update, verify and confirm the necessary changes.
The dialog box shows the steps being performed, and indicates when each step is successful. If
the update process does not complete successfully, the dialog box indicates which step failed, and
gives you the option to save the changes and proceed manually, or undo all changes.
Important: In some cases AppScan may update responses incorrectly, and part or all of the scan
will fail. If that happens you will need to re-record the problematic
procedures.
Note: Although Manual Explore data is updated, Automatic Explore
data, and scan results, are deleted when you change the Starting URL.
Note: This option can
be used to change only the host, scheme, or port of only the Starting URL. If you need
to make other changes to the Starting URL, or change the host, scheme or port for one of the
Additional Domains in the scan, you cannot use this option. Instead, save the scan as a
template, and use that to create a new scan.
