Running the Configuration wizard

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

Before you begin

  1. During configuration, you define the name and location of the SQL Server database to be used, and 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 you install 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 you install the Dynamic Analysis Scanner registers the Scanner with AppScan Enterprise Server.

Procedure

  1. When the installation is complete, the Configuration wizard launches automatically. You can also start it by selecting Configuration Wizard from the Windows Start menu.
  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 that you want to configure. The components available to you depend on your license. See Server Components. If you are installing the components on one machine, select all the check boxes, even if you have installed one of the components previously.

  5. In the Instance Name window, specify the name of the instance you want to configure. See Instance Name.

  6. In the Service Account window, enter the Domain/Username Service Account and password, and click Next. See Service Account.

  7. In the Database Connection window, enter the SQL Server name, port number, and the name of the database you are connecting to. You can click Test Connection to make sure you can connect to the SQL Server. The configuration wizard does not proceed until the connection is successful. When AppScan Enterprise Server creates the database in SQL Server, it automatically configures the collation for it.

    Note:
    1. If you are upgrading an existing database from v8.6 or earlier, enter the Database Master Key Password on the next screen to access it. Keep this password in a secure location.
    2. If your environment uses a named SQL Server instance for the AppScan Enterprise database, make sure that TCP/IP is enabled in the SQL Server configuration manager, and restart the SQL services for SQL Server. Use the port number of the named SQL Server instance instead of the default port number (1443).
  8. In the Server Certificate window, choose a certificate specific to your organization. This step helps you deploy a secure AppScan Enterprise in your environment. See Server Certificate.

  9. (Upgrade only). In the Restore AppScan Server Settings screen, you can choose to restore previous AppScan Server customized settings on the Liberty Server (default). This screen appears once upon upgrade; if you run the configuration wizard later, this screen won't appear. See Restore AppScan Server settings.
  10. In the Server Keystore screen, select a server keystore to be used by the Enterprise Console. If you exported a .pfx file, select Public key cryptography standards #12 (PKCS #12). Browse to the location where you saved the .pfx file, import it and enter the password you created when you exported the file. See Server Keystore.

  11. In the Authentication Mechanism window, select an Authentication Mechanism to use to log in to the Enterprise Console. The default is to authenticate via Windows. To use LDAP, see Authentication Mechanism.

    Note: If you need to authenticate with the Common Access Card (CAC), make sure you choose LDAP as your authentication mechanism. Once AppScan Enterprise is configured, follow the instructions in Authenticating with the Common Access Card (CAC) to authenticate with CAC.
  12. In the Server Configuration window,

    1. Configure the host name and port of the Liberty server for AppScan Server to use. If you are using Windows authentication, prefix the host name with your domain name.
    2. While it is not a recommended practice, you can allow SSL connections with invalid or untrusted certificates during scanning. When the option is disabled, messages will appear in the scan log to indicate that the insecure server could not be reached for scanning. This option also affects the Manual Explore functionality.
    3. : Configure the Advisory services port (installed with the Enterprise Console). This port runs over HTTP and is used by the node.js server to provide advisories and fix recommendations. The advisories appear in the About this Issue page for the application issues, and provide fix recommendations. You can select a different port if 9444 is already used.
  13. (upgrade only) In the Database Encryption Changes window, click Help to learn how to protect the SQL Server where the database is located. 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 2008 and later. TDE encrypts the data that is stored in the database or in backups on physical media. If you are using an older version of SQL Server, any data that is contained in that database is at risk of compromise by unauthorized access.
  14. 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.

  15. 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 2008 Server R2 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 be expired. Contact your Product Administrator to investigate further.
  16. 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, the agents do not pick up any jobs that are created by users. You can manually start the service by using the Administrative tools; see Verifying the agent service and alerting service installation.
  17. Run the Default Settings Wizard. This wizard helps you to install sample data in by providing defaults for a number of configurable options.
  18. Click Exit.

Running the Default Settings wizard

This wizard helps you install sample data in by providing defaults for a number of configurable options.
