URL and Servers

Starting URL

Provide the URL of your application to be the starting point of the scan. AppScan attempts to reach the URL, and if it succeeds a green checkmark and "Connected to server" confirmation appear underneath the Starting URL. If the problem can be corrected with a configuration change, AppScan suggests what change is needed and links to the appropriate view in the Configuration dialog box.

Opens the page you entered in a browser. If necessary you can browse to a different URL and use the toolbar to set the new page as the Start URL for the scan. Close the browser to continue with scan configuration.

Tests the Starting URL again. Click this button if the server was down when you configured, and later resumed.

Note: If you change the domain, scheme or port of the Starting URL after configuring the scan, changes to the configuration may be needed. You will be asked if you want AppScan to do this automatically. For more details, see Changing the Starting URL

Treat all paths as case-sensitive

When selected, links that differ from each other by case will be considered different pages. For example, "ReadMe.as" would be considered different to "readme.as".

When deselected, all URLs appear in lowercase.

Select this check box if the file system on your application host is case sensitive. In most cases, you will want to check the check box for Unix-based servers, and clear the check box for Windows-based servers.
