Configuring automatic login of AppScan Enterprise Server users

By default, AppScan® Enterprise Server users can log in to AppScan Source and automatically be added to the AppScan Source Database (these users will be listed as AppScan Enterprise Server users). This feature can be configured in the AppScan Source for Analysis user interface according to the instructions in this topic.

Procedure

  1. From the AppScan Source for Analysis Admin menu, click Manage Users.
  2. In the Manage Users dialog box, click the Configure login for AppScan Enterprise Server users link.
  3. The Configure AppScan Enterprise Server User Login dialog box allows you to enable this feature - and set initial permissions for AppScan Enterprise Server users:
    • By default, AppScan Enterprise Server users can log in to AppScan Source. To disable this feature, deselect the Permit login by AppScan Enterprise Server users check box.
    • By default, AppScan Enterprise Server users have these permissions when logging in to AppScan Source:
      • Register
      • Scan
      • View Registered
      • Manage Attributes
      • Apply Attributes
      • Save Assessments

      Expand the Permissions tree and select the check boxes that identify the appropriate initial settings for AppScan Enterprise Server users. See User accounts and permissions for a list of all available permissions.

  4. Click OK to close the Configure AppScan Enterprise Server User Login dialog box - and then Close the Manage Users dialog box.

Results

The first time an AppScan Enterprise Server user logs in to AppScan Source, an AppScan Source user account will be created with the same authentication credentials that are used for logging in to the AppScan Enterprise Server. After the account is created, you can modify it (for example, modify its permissions).

If you disable this feature, AppScan Enterprise Server users will need to be created manually by following the instructions in Creating AppScan Source users.
