HCL® AppScan® Source for Development (Eclipse Plug-in)
With AppScan® Source for Development, you can work in your existing development environment and perform security vulnerability analysis on Java and IBM® MobileFirst Platform projects. Security analysis lets you pinpoint vulnerabilities in the source code and eliminate them entirely with AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase remediation assistance.
AppScan® Source for Development server mode and local mode
The AppScan® Source for Development plug-ins can be used with or without an AppScan Enterprise Server. In server mode, you connect to the server to run scans and access shared data, just as in previous product versions. In the new local mode, AppScan Source for Development runs without ever connecting to an AppScan Enterprise Server - and you cannot access shared items such as filters, scan configurations, and custom rules.
Logging out of the AppScan® Enterprise Server
When you are running AppScan® Source for Development in server mode, you can disconnect from the Enterprise Server directly from the AppScan Source for Development user interface.

Logging out of the AppScan Enterprise Server

When you are running AppScan® Source for Development in server mode, you can disconnect from the Enterprise Server directly from the AppScan Source for Development user interface.

To log out of the server, select Security Analysis > HCL AppScan Source > Log Out from Server from the main menu. Once logged out, you will be prompted to log back in to the server if you attempt to use any action that requires a connection to the server (for example, launch a scan).

Note: If your team employs floating licenses, a scanning license will be acquired when you first start running a scan. That license is automatically released when you log out from the server, returning it to the pool available to other team members.
