Procedure

In Folder Explorer, create a Web Services QuickScan.
In the Setup tab, click the Help icon () beside Web Service URLs, and click Download to install the Web Services Explorer. This might take a few minutes.
Launch Web Services Explorer (Start > HCL® Security AppScan® Enterprise Server > Web Services Explorer).
Choose a workflow to explore your web service URLs with the Generic Service Client (GSC) tool:
- Workflow for testing simple web services
- Workflow for testing web services behind SSL authentication
You will be prompted to save the package which you can then upload to AppScan Enterprise Server to be included as part of a scan. The URLs packaged in the zip file will display in the list and will be tested for security vulnerabilities when you run the scan.

Run the scan and view the results.
