Excluded paths and files

You can configure AppScan to ignore certain paths in the application, or specific types of file.

However, you must apply exclusions with caution, as they might have important vulnerabilities. Changes here apply only to request-based exploring, not action-based exploring which is configured in Configuration > Explore options > Explore method.

Excluded paths

You can filter the scope of the automatic Explore stage by adding URLs (full paths, which may include queries) or regular expressions to the Exclude or Include Paths list.

For details see Excluding paths

Excluded files

You can configure AppScan to ignore specific types of files during the scan. For example, you could make the scan run faster if you exclude graphics files. However, you must exclude files with caution, as they might contain important issues.
