Installing a standalone client

To submit scan requests for remote translation and remote scan to your OpenText ScanCentral SAST sensors, you can use standalone clients. A standalone client is independent of an OpenText SAST installation.

To install a standalone client:

Copy the OpenText ScanCentral SAST client files to your machine by doing one of the following:
- Install from a OpenText ScanCentral SAST client ZIP file:
  1. Extract the contents of the Fortify_ScanCentral_Client_<version>_x64.zip file to any directory on your machine.
    Make sure that the installation path contains no spaces.
  2. On Linux systems, give the scancentral, pwtool, and packagescanner files execute permission.
  3. Add <client_install_dir>/bin to your PATH environment variable.
    The <client_install_dir> is the directory where you extracted the OpenText ScanCentral SAST client ZIP.
  4. Set the SCANCENTAL_JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to a Java version that OpenText ScanCentral SAST client supports, and make sure that you add the Java executable to the PATH environment variable.
- Install the OpenText ScanCentral SAST client as a component of an OpenText™ Application Security Tools installation.
  For instructions, see the OpenText™ Application Security Tools Guide.
Open the <client_install_dir>/Core/config/client.properties file in a text editor.
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.
You can also set the client_auth_token using the SCANCENTRAL_VM_OPTS environment variable, like SCANCENTRAL_VM_OPTS=-Dclient_auth_token= <token>. For information, see Configuring client properties.
Save and close the client.properties file.
