Installing a sensor using OpenText SAST

The following procedure describes how to create a new sensor. For information about how to upgrade an existing sensor, see Upgrading Fortify ScanCentral SAST Sensors.

If you use Windows, you can install the sensor as a Windows service. For instructions, see Installing a Sensor as a Service.

To install a sensor:

Use the instructions provided in the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide to install OpenText SAST.
Make sure you select Fortify ScanCentral SAST client as a component during the OpenText SAST installation.
Open the <sast_install_dir>/Core/config/worker.properties file in a text editor.
Specify a value for the worker_auth_token property.
If you are using a plain text password, use the password set for the worker_auth_token property in the Controllerconfig.properties file. For information about how to generate an encrypted shared secret, see Encrypting the Shared Secret on a Sensor.
Save and close your worker.properties file.
