Starting DevOps Test Integrations and APIs from the command line

You must start HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) from the command line by using the hostname and port of the computer on which you installed HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client when you want HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client to capture and scan the HTTP traffic from and to Test Integrations and APIs. After you start Test Integrations and APIs and run tests, the HTP traffic is scanned by HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client for security vulnerabilities.

Before you begin

You must have competed the following tasks:
  • Read and complied with the prerequisites described in Prerequisites.
  • Installed HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client.
  • Noted the hostname and port used by HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client for Test Integrations and APIs.

Procedure

  1. Open the command line.
  2. Go to the Test Integrations and APIs installation directory.
  3. Run the following command with the details of the hostname and port of the proxy host of HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client:

    IntegrationTester -appScanProxyHost <host_name> -appScanProxyPort <port>

    For example, if the hostname of the computer where you installed the HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client is 127.2.1.0 and the port assigned to the Test Integrations and APIs application is 64482, the command can be as follows:

    IntegrationTester -appScanProxyHost 127.2.1.0 -appScanProxyPort 64482

Results

You have started Test Integrations and APIs as an application that HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client listens to capture or record HTTP traffic from and to Test Integrations and APIs.

What to do next

You can run tests in Test Integrations and APIs that send or receive HTTP traffic. You can then use the method that you set in HCL® AppScan to scan the HTTP traffic and view the scan reports.
