Installing or Upgrading Fortify Software Security Center (Optional)

If you are integrating Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect Enterprise with Micro Focus Fortify Software Security Center, then Fortify Software Security Center version 21.1.0 must be installed and running before you install Fortify WebInspect Enterprise version 21.1.0. See the Micro Focus Fortify Software Security Center User Guide version 21.1.0 for information about installing or upgrading Fortify Software Security Center to the required version.

Important! Before making each upgrade of Fortify WebInspect Enterprise, you must first upgrade Fortify Software Security Center to the supported version. For more information, see Upgrading from Earlier Versions.

In Fortify Software Security Center:

Note the Fortify Software Security Center URL. You will need to specify it during the installation of Fortify WebInspect Enterprise.
Create a general Fortify Software Security Center administrator account or make note of an existing one. You will need to specify the user name and password of this account during the installation of Fortify WebInspect Enterprise and this person will automatically become the first Fortify WebInspect Enterprise system administrator.
Create an account in Fortify Software Security Center for the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise Service, give it a recognizable user name such as wie_service, and give it the role of Fortify WebInspect Enterprise System. This service controls the sharing of application versions with Fortify WebInspect Enterprise and obtains lists of completed and running scans from Fortify WebInspect Enterprise. You will need to specify the user name and password of this account during the installation of Fortify WebInspect Enterprise.

Important! Do not combine the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise Service account with any other role. Also, do not modify the permission of the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise Service account in the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise Administration Console. Doing so may prevent new application versions from being created in Fortify Software Security Center or cause them to be created in the wrong Security Group.
