Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool

The AdminUtil tool helps users to avoid rerun the configuration wizard on the AppScan Enterprise Server and the DAST Scanner(s) to reset the password. You can run the utility in two modes - Interactive mode and Silent mode. For more information about resetting service account password through interactive mode, see Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool in silent mode

Before you begin

  • AppScan Enterprise V10.0.1 Server or the DAST Scanner(s) should be installed.
  • When you are trying to reset service account, the password you are entering must be a AppScan Enterprise configured Service Account user or any user with Administrator privileges.
  • No scans should be running while trying to reset the password through AppScan Enterprise AdminUtil tool. Any progressive scans might be suspended as the utility restarts all the three AppScan Enterprise and IIS services.
