Server Connection

This installation panel is used for ensuring an AppScan® Enterprise Server is available for your AppScan Source installation.

Procedure

If your existing installation included the AppScan Source Database, the Server Connection panel opens, followed by Database upgrade and maintenance panels.
In the Server Connection panel, choose one of these options:
- I will connect to an AppScan Server instance: Selecting this option allows you to test the remote AppScan Enterprise Server to ensure that it is available for connection to AppScan Source. To test the server connection, complete these fields:
  - AppScan Enterprise Server: Specify the hostname for your remote AppScan Enterprise Server instance in the existing URL format.
  - Product Administrator: Specify your AppScan Enterprise Server administrator user ID.
  - Password: Specify the password for your AppScan Enterprise Server administrator user ID.
  When the server settings have been entered, click Test Connection to ensure that the server will be available for connection to AppScan Source.
- Let me proceed without specifying a server: Select this option to proceed without specifying a server.
Important:
- If the Enterprise Server that you will connect to is enabled for NIST 800-131a compliance, you cannot test a connection to the server. In this case, proceed without specifying a server. After the installation of AppScan Source and the Enterprise Server are complete, follow the instructions for Registering the AppScan Source Database with AppScan Enterprise Server, ensuring that the Force TLSv1.2 option is applied.
- If your AppScan Enterprise Server has been set up with Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, select Let me proceed without specifying a server and then use the appscanserverdbmgr_cac utility for all server connection settings and tests.
