To access this feature, click Edit > Application Settings and then select Run as a Sensor.
Sensor
This configuration information is used for integrating OpenText DAST into Fortify WebInspect Enterprise as a sensor. After providing the information and starting the sensor service, you should conduct scans using the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise console, not the OpenText DAST graphical user interface.
The following table describes the options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Manager URL | Enter the URL or IP address of the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise Manager. |
| Sensor Authentication | Enter a user name (formatted as domain\username) and password, then click Test to verify the entry. |
| Enable Proxy | If OpenText DAST must go through a proxy server to reach the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise manager, select Enable Proxy and then provide the IP address and port number of the server. If authentication is required, enter a valid user name and password. |
| Override Database Settings |
OpenText DAST normally stores scan data in the device you specify in the Application Settings for database connectivity. For more information, see Application settings: Database. However, if OpenText DAST is connected to Fortify WebInspect Enterprise as a sensor, you can select this option and then click Configure to specify an alternate device. For more information, see Application settings: override SQL database settings. |
| Service Account |

| Sensor Status |
This area displays the current status of the Sensor Service and provides buttons allowing you to start or stop the service. After configuring OpenText DAST as a sensor, click Start. Note: Normally, when OpenText DAST is configured as a sensor, launching OpenText DAST as a standalone application halts the Sensor Service. When you subsequently close OpenText DAST, the service restarts, placing OpenText DAST once again under the control of the Fortify WebInspect Enterprise manager. However, if you conduct a Smart Update while OpenText DAST is running as a standalone application, the service will not restart automatically. You must click the Start button (or right-click the Fortify icon in the notification area of the taskbar and select Start Sensor). |
