Running the Server Configuration Wizard

After you install or upgrade the Server, you must configure each installed component and run the Configuration Wizard on all instances and on all servers.

Before you begin

Note:
  1. During configuration you define the name and location of the SQL Server database to be used, as well as the service account name and password. The user who runs the configuration wizard must be able to create a database and grant rights.
  2. Running the wizard after installing the AppScan® Enterprise Server sets up the database on the SQL Server and does the initial setup of the component.
  3. Running the wizard after installing the Dynamic Analysis Scanner registers the Scanner with AppScan® Enterprise Server.

Procedure

  1. Launch the Configuration Wizard using one of these methods:
    1. After installation, select the Launch Configuration Wizard check box in the Setup Wizard Completed window.
    2. From the Windows™ Start menu, select Configuration Wizard.
  2. In the Welcome screen, click Next.
  3. In the License Server window, specify the Rational® License Server to use for licenses. See License Server.
  4. In the Server Components window, select the components you want to configure. The components available to you depend on your license. See Server Components.
  5. In the Service Account window, enter the Domain/Username Service Account and password, and click Next. See Service Account.
  6. In the Instance Name window, specify the name of the instance you want to configure. See Instance Name.
  7. In the Database Connection window, enter the name of the database server, or select one from the SQL Server or Server\Instance name list.
    Note: If you are upgrading an existing database from a previous version, enter the Database Master Key Password on the next screen to access it. Keep this password in a secure location.
  8. In the Authentication Mechanism window, select an Authentication Mechanism to use to log into the Enterprise Console. See Authentication Mechanism.
  9. If you chose to use a local AppScan® Enterprise Server, the User Administration screen will open. Specify the host name to be used to access this AppScan® Enterprise Server remotely.

    Change the default password to a more secure one. Leave the fields blank if you want to keep the default admin password. For AppScan® Source standalone deployment, <localhost> is acceptable.

  10. In the Database Encryption Changes window, click Learn how to enable TDE to protect the SQL Server where the database resides. If you decide not to enable TDE, select the check box so you can continue configuration.
    Note: AppScan® Enterprise uses transparent data encryption (TDE) technology that is available in SQL Server 2012 and later. TDE encrypts the data residing in the database or in backups on physical media. If you are using an older version of SQL Server, any data contained in that database is at risk of compromise by unauthorized access.
  11. In the Server Certificate window, enable HTTPS for the Enterprise Console to help ensure stronger security protection, and choose a certificate specific to your organization. Taking these actions will help you deploy a secure AppScan® Enterprise in your environment.
  12. In the Product Administrator window, specify a user as Product Administrator. This user is licensed separately; if you want to reassign the Product Administrator license, you must rerun the configuration wizard. See Product Administrator.
  13. Ensure that nobody is accessing the database, and click Finish in the Specifications Complete window to complete the configuration. This process might take awhile.
    Note:
    1. IIS AppPool settings on Windows™ Server are set during configuration:
      • IIS recycling is set at 2:00am
      • Idle timeout is set at 120 minutes
    2. If you see an error message that the proxy server certificate cannot be configured, it might have expired. Contact your Product Administrator to investigate further.
  14. (optional) Select the Start the Services check box to automatically start the services.
    Note: If you do not choose to automatically start the agent service, any jobs created by users will not be picked up by the agents. You can manually start the service using the Administrative Tools; see Verifying the agent service and alerting service installation.
  15. Run the Default Settings Wizard. This wizard helps you to install sample data in by providing defaults for a number of configurable options.
  16. Click Exit.
