Preinstallation checklist
You must take certain steps before you install AppScan Enterprise.
| Task | Check when complete |
|---|---|
| Install and configure your SQL Server database. | ? |
| Create a Service Account. Make sure the service account works on each machine where the Scanner and Server are going to be installed. See Required user account information during installation and configuration. | ? |
| Attach the service account with appropriate privileges to access the SQL Server database. | ? |
| Obtain
the License information from the My HCLSoftware (MHS) portal. Note: To
get a license, you need a machine fingerprint key. You can get this either from the Configuration
Wizard during installation or by using the standalone utility described in
Generating a machine fingerprint for
AppScan Enterprise. |
? |
| Set up your LDAP accounts. Identify your users and groups. For information about IIS components needed for AppScan Enterprise installation, see KB0011429 | ? |
| If you are upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher, read Replacing Jazz Team Server with WebSphere Liberty - Frequently asked questions before you begin upgrading. | ? |
| If you are upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher and need to migrate Jazz Team Server users to use the Liberty authentication method, export a .csv file of users by using the cd <install-dir>\Appscan Enterpise\JazzTeamServer\server\ repotools-jts.bat -exportUsers toFile=C:\users.csv repositoryURL=https://<hostname>:9443/jts before you begin upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher. Then follow the steps that are documented in Configuring a basic user registry for the Liberty profile to import the users into Liberty. | ? |
| If you don't have a server certificate, create one from your certificate authority to use with Liberty. See Using a certificate in your certificate store with Liberty. | ? |
| Set up security on SQL Server. On the Enterprise edition, enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). On the Standard version, use Encrypting File System (EFS). | ? |
| Export your server certificate from IIS as a .pfx file, and give it a password. It contains information that you need to use during configuration to ensure AppScan Enterprise works with WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core. If you don't have a server certificate, create one from your certificate authority. | ? |
| If you plan to import scan templates from AppScan® Standard, disable Enhanced Security on Windows™ Server 2014 so that AppScan® Enterprise can log in to applications. See Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration on Windows Server 2014. | ? |
| Download the installation media from MHS. | ? |
Create a dedicated SQL Server user account
for AppScan Enterprise. Don't use the default 'sa' account. |
? |
| Verify that the password for the SQL Server user account isn't expired and isn't subject to a password expiration policy. | ? |
