Configuration presets

Presets give you the main configuration views needed for a particular type of scan.

The presets at the top of Configuration view give you access to the most common configuration options, the main difference being the way the options are arranged.

Choose from:


Preset	Description
Web essentials	Configure Starting URL and domains, Login management, and Test policy and optimization, and start your scan.
API essentials	Configure API type and explore method (optionally add a Postman Collection file), Login management, and Test policy and optimization, and start your scan.
Full configuration	Gives you access to the full range of configuration options.

Additional methods for exploring web APIs

The following additional methods for exploring web APIs are also available:


Scan type	Description
Postman Collection	Import a Postman Collection to use as the basis for the Explore stage, and AppScan will verify and then run a Test stage for the scan.
Web API Wizard extension	This extension lets you scan using Open API description files (JSON and YAML). It is available from Tools > Extensions > Web API Wizard (Open API), and the extension is enabled by default.
