Scan settings: User Agent

To access this feature, click the Edit menu and select Default Scan Settings or Current Scan Settings. Then, in the Scan Settings category, select User Agent.

You can configure user agent settings that synchronize in both OpenText DAST and the Event-based Web Macro Recorder.

Profile and user-agent string

You can select a predefined Profile that specifies the user agent string for the browser. The following table describes the available profiles.
