Figure 1. High-level architecture

To install HCL AppScan 360°, perform the following steps:

  • Set up the AppScan 360° environment

    Before you install AppScan 360°, ensure your environment meets basic requirements for hardware, software, resources, and connectivity.

  • Prepare the configuration file

    The configuration file provides specific information to the install process about your environment.

  • Install the AppScan Central Platform

    This is the foundation of AppScan 360°. It includes the browser-based user interface, APIs, core server elements, and embedded scanning technology, all running on a Kubernetes cluster. The ASCP also requires the customer to provide an MSSQL Server DB and Active Directory (accessed through LDAP).

  • Install the AppScan Remediation Advisories

    AppScan Remediation Advisories is a database of cause, risk, and remediation content. Information about issues found in scans and detailed on the How to fix tab of the Issues detail pane is sourced from this database.

To use AppScan 360° you must install both AppScan Central Platform and the AppScan Remediation Advisories.
