- Administering AppScan® Source
  This section explains user management, permissions, application and project registration, and port configuration.
- Auditing user activity
  AppScan® Source offers a convenient location for auditing user activity. The Audit view logs events such as authentication to the AppScan Enterprise Server, the creation of new users, and the creation of new rules in the database.
- Logging in to AppScan® Enterprise Server from AppScan® Source products
  Most AppScan® Source products and components require a connection to an AppScan Enterprise Server. The server provides centralized user management capabilities and a mechanism for sharing assessments. All user management occurs in AppScan Enterprise.
- LDAP integration
  To add an AppScan® Source user that will be authenticated via LDAP, you must have configured the AppScan Enterprise Server user repository to use an LDAP repository.
- Registering applications and projects for publishing to AppScan® Source
- AppScan® Source application, folder, and project files
  AppScan® Source applications, folders, and projects have corresponding files that maintain configuration information required for scanning, as well as triage customization. These files should reside in the same directory as the source code, since configuration information (dependencies, compiler options, and so forth) required to build the projects is very similar to that required for AppScan Source to scan them successfully. Best practice includes managing these files with your source control system.
- Port configuration
  - Default open ports
  - Port forwarding configuration
