Installing an embedded client

Use an embedded client (client included with OpenText SAST) to perform a local translation before submitting the remote scan to your sensors.

To install an embedded client:

  1. Log on to a build machine using credentials for an account that is not an administrator or root account.

  2. Use the instructions provided in the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide to install OpenText SAST on your build machine.

    Make sure you select Fortify ScanCentral SAST client as a component during the OpenText SAST installation.

  3. Go to the <sast_install_dir>/Core/config/ directory, and then open the client.properties in a text editor.

  4. Set the same value for the client_auth_token property that you set for the client_auth_token property on the Controller (in the <controller_install_dir>/tomcat/webapps/scancentral-ctrl/WEB-INF/classes/config.properties file).

    For information about how to generate an encrypted shared secret, see Encrypting the Shared Secret on a Client.

  5. Save and close the client.properties file.
