Adding or Editing Credentials

Credentials are necessary for Sentinel to have the ability to scan sites that require users to log in for access. Synopsys recommends that at least two sets of credentials be entered for each such site, with the second set being used should the first set fail. These should not be the credentials of any existing user.

To add, edit, or delete credentials, go to the Site Details page from the Assets tab and select the Scan or the Services subtab. Under the Scan subtab, you can enter or edit scanning credentials; under the Services subtab you can add or edit credentials to be used in a Business Logic Assessment.

To add Scanning Credentials from the Site Details page, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the Scan subtab.
