Using a configuration file with a plugin to automate scanning

When using plugins, you can make use of appscan-config.xml to automate scanning.

You can configure scan automation using appscan-config.xml for the following plugins:
  • Jenkins
  • Azure
  • GitHub SAST Action
To setup scan automation with appscan-config.xml:
  1. Create an appscan-config.xml file.

    Create appscan-config.xml manually or use AppScan Go!. Note the location of the file upon completion.

  2. Either:
    • Specify the directory location of appscan-config.xml as the Target Directory when setting up the plugin, or
    • Run appscan prepare either in the directory containing appscan-config.xml, or point to it using the -c option.

      For example, appscan prepare -c /path/to/my/appscan-config.xml
