AppScan® Enterprise Console preferences

If your AppScan® Enterprise Server has been installed with the AppScan® Enterprise Console option, you can publish assessments to it. The Enterprise Console offers a variety of tools for working with your assessments - such as reporting features, issue management, trend analysis, and dashboards.

To enable this feature, complete the AppScan® Enterprise Console preference page. All fields in this page must be completed with valid entries before Enterprise Console publication is enabled:

• User ID field: Enter your AppScan® Enterprise Server user ID (the user ID that was created for publishing on behalf of your AppScan® Source user).
  • If your AppScan® Enterprise Server is configured to use Windows™ authentication, enter the domain and user name that you use to connect to the Enterprise Console (separate the domain and user name with \ - for example, my_domain\my_username).
  • If your AppScan® Enterprise Server is configured with LDAP, enter the user name that you use to connect to the Enterprise Console.
  • On Windows, if your AppScan® Enterprise Server is enabled for Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, select your CAC Common Name from the list.

  At a minimum, you must be a QuickScan user. If you are connected to an AppScan® Enterprise Server that is earlier than Version 9.0.3, you must have your own user folder on the Enterprise Server.

• Password field: This field is only available if your AppScan® Enterprise Server authentication method is user ID and password. Enter the password used to log in to Enterprise Console (the password for the user name that was entered).
• Enterprise Console URL field: Enter the URL used to access the Enterprise Console web application.

  The format of this URL is:

  http(s)://<hostname>:<port>/ase

  Where <hostname> is the name of the machine on which the Enterprise Console has been installed and <port> is the port on which the console is running (the default <port> is 9443). An example of this URL is https://myhost.mydomain.hcl.com:9443/ase.

  Note:

  • This field does not need to be modified if the Enterprise Console URL has already been set.
  • You must be signed into AppScan® Source with Manage AppScan Enterprise Settings permission to be able to set the Enterprise Console URL field. For information about user accounts and permissions, see the Administering section of the product infocenter - or the Administering AppScan® Source section of the HCL® AppScan® Source Installation and Administration Guide.
  • The User ID and Password are stored on the machine that is running the AppScan® Source client (for example, AppScan® Source for Analysis) - while the Enterprise Console URL is stored in the Enterprise Server (which may be located on a remote machine). You cannot access user name and password information from the remote machine (for example, by issuing the getaseinfo command from it).
  • AppScan® Source does not support publishing to an AppScan® Enterprise Console instance that has been configured to use proxy settings. Attempting to publish to an instance that uses proxy settings will result in an error.

After completing the settings, it is strongly recommended that you ensure that the connection to the Enterprise Console server is valid by clicking Test Connection.
