Preparing to Use the Plugins

Before configuring and using the scan-agent plugins, complete the following tasks:

  • Ensure that the Code Insight server is installed and running, as described in the Code Insight Installation & Configuration Guide. (Take note of the server’s URL, as you will need this information to configure the plugin to access the server.)

  • Generate a JSON Web Token (JWT) for a user registered on the Code Insight server. See Providing an Authorization Token for more information.

  • Create a project on the Code Insight server to which the results of scans run by the scan-agent plugin are sent. See “Creating a Project” in the Code Insight User Guide for details.

  • Ensure that the scan profile associated with the project you created to receive the scan results is configured appropriately to handle dependencies and file exclusions during the scan. See the next section, Application of Scan Profile Settings.
