Configuring licensing to use a proxy server

This task topic describes procedures for setting up an AppScan® Source license using a proxy server.

To configure licensing from the user interface:

  1. From the License Server Configuration dialog box, click Configure Proxy.
  2. At the Proxy Server Configuration dialog box, enter the Server and Port for the proxy.
  3. To include authentication, click Authentication, then provide valid login credentials.
    Note: Authentication is disabled by default.
  4. Click OK to return to the License Server Configuration dialog. AppScan® Source licensing is now configured to look to the configured proxy server for license verification.

To configure licensing from the command line:

  1. From a command line, move to the location of the licensemgr utility in the installation path:
    • On Windows, the default file location is <SYSTEM DRIVE>:\Program Files\HCL\AppScanSource\bin
    • On Linux, the default file location is /opt/hcl/appscansource/bin
  2. Type licensemgr -configure -proxy -host <proxy_host> -port <proxy_port> [-user <username> -password <password>]
    where:
    • -host specifies the proxy server hostname.
    • -port specifies the proxy server port.
    • -user specifies username to connect to proxy server. Optional.
    • -password specifies password to connect to proxy server. Optional.
