Configuring communication between AppScan and Rational Quality Manager

This wizard helps you install sample data in AppScan Tester Edition and Rational® Quality Manager, and configure two-way communication between AppScan and Rational Quality Manager by providing defaults for a number of configurable options.
Ensure that the Launch Default Settings Wizard check box is selected when the Configuration Wizard has completed.
  1. In the Welcome page, select Integrate with Rational Quality Manager from the list and click Next. This will create scan templates, test policies, and server groups for Rational Quality Manager users.
  2. In the Default Setting window, configure the following options for AppScan:
    1. Instance: Select the instance name that this setup is for; for example, ASE. The Instance that was configured in the Configuration Wizard will be selected here by default.
    2. Contact: Enter the name or a point of contact for the items created by the wizard. You can edit these items later if necessary. By default, this is the service account for the selected instance.
    3. Root folder name: Enter a name for the default root folder. The default folder acts as the root folder for all other folders you create.
    4. Application URL: Enter the URL for the application users will use to access AppScan (for example, http://myserver/mydomain/appscan/). By default, this is the current computer's FODN (fully qualified domain name).
  3. Click Next.
  4. In the LDAP Settings page, select the Enable LDAP check box if you use an LDAP server with AppScan Tester Edition.
    1. In the Server Name field, enter the LDAP group name.
    2. In the Group Query field, enter the path of the group query used to retrieve user group information. You can use an LDAP server or an Active Directory server.
    3. (optional) Select the Anonymous access check box if you want to integrate with the LDAP server using anonymous access. This option is disabled by default.
    4. Click Test LDAP to confirm the configuration works.
  5. In the Populate Database with Sample Data page, select the Populate Sample Data check box. This will populate the AppScan database with scan templates, server groups (based on the servers and IP addresses listed in your AppScan license), and test policies for running security tests. If necessary, you can edit this data later in AppScan.
  6. (optional) Select the Install RQM Sample Data check box. This will populate Rational Quality Manager with a sample test plan, requirements for security testing, test cases, and test scripts. This sample data is intended to give you an example of how you can create your own security test plans for your environment.
  7. Click Next.
  8. In the Rational Quality Manager Settings window, configure the following options:
    1. Server Name: Enter the Server Name where Rational Quality Manager is located.

    1. SQL Server Host: Enter the SQL Server host name or IP address where AppScan is located.
    2. Use Windows Authentication: Select this option to use Windows® authentication to access the SQL Server where AppScan is located. Windows authentication is only available if Rational Quality Manager is installed on a Windows operating system. The account under which Quality Manager server runs must also have permission to access the AppScan database. Consult the AppScan Tester Edition documentation for a list of specific database roles required.
    3. Use SQL Authentication: Select this option to use SQL authentication to access the SQL Server where AppScan is located. SQL DB User: Enter the user name required to access the AppScan database. SQL DB Password: Enter the password required to access the AppScan database. Consult the AppScan Tester Edition documentation for a list of specific database roles required. Note: By default, SQL Server 2005 is installed with Windows Authentication only. Ensure that the SQL Server has been configured to allow SQL Server or mixed-mode authentication before continuing.
  11. Click Test AppScan Connection to verify that Rational Quality Manager can connect with AppScan.
  12. Click Next. The Default Settings Wizard Progress page opens, displaying the setup's progress.
