Syntax

On Windows™: <install_dir>\bin\ounceautod.exe -u <user name> -p <password> --persist

On Linux™ and macOS: <install_dir>/bin/ounceautod -u <user name> -p <password> --persist

Where:

  • <install_dir> is the location of your AppScan® Source installation.
  • -u <user name> is the AppScan Source user with which the Automation Server authenticates when processing a request. The user must be created with the required permissions.
  • -p <password> is the user's password. If you specify a user name, you must specify the password.
  • --persist preserves the login credentials on disk. Creates an encrypted key file with the specified user name and password.

After you specify the user name and password, you can start the Automation Server:

  • On Windows, start the HCL® AppScan Source for Automation service.
  • On Linux, start the daemon by issuing this command: /etc/init.d/ounceautod start
  • On macOS, issue this command: launchctl start com.ibm.appscan.autod
