Update and delete analyses and scans

Update authentication settings and delete analyses or scans. For additional configuration settings you can update, see Configure an analysis for a web application or Configure an analysis for an API.

To perform these tasks, ensure you meet the prerequisites.

Update authentication settings​

Add or update your login credentials in an analysis for accessing the web applications or APIs at the specified URLs.

To complete this task:

  1. Sign in to the Veracode Platform.
  2. Select Scans & Analysis > Dynamic Analysis.
  3. In the All Dynamic Analyses table, select the analysis you want to configure.
  4. In the URLs List or API Specifications List table, locate the web URL or API server you want to configure.
  5. In the Actions column, select Configure.
  6. In the Configure window, scroll to the Authentication section.
  7. Select Required, if not selected.
  8. For a web application, Auto-login is the default. Enter the username and password. For APIs or web applications that require additional authentication, such as basic authentication (browser-generated) or a login script (web applications only), select the checkbox for that option and enter the configuration settings. For more information, see the authentication methods for scanning web applications or APIs.

Delete a scan​

You can use the Veracode Platform to delete a Dynamic Analysis scan of a web application or API.

Important

When you delete a scan you permanently remove its scan configuration and all results from any Dynamic Analysis.

You can also delete Dynamic Analysis scans with the REST API.

Before you begin:

  • Confirm your account has the Creator or Security Lead role.
  • Ensure the status of the scan you want to delete is not In Progress. If you see this status, you must wait for the scan to complete.

To complete this task:

  1. In the Veracode Platform, select Scans & Analysis > Dynamic Analysis.
  2. In the All Dynamic Analyses table, select the name of an analysis.
  3. In the URLs List or API Specifications List, locate a scan.
  4. From the Actions menu actions_icon.png, select Delete.
  5. To confirm that you want to delete the scan, in the Delete Scan window, select OK.

Delete an analysis​

You can delete a Dynamic Analysis if no instances of the Dynamic Analysis are running. You must have the Creator or Security Lead role to be able to delete a Dynamic Analysis.

To delete a Dynamic Analysis, on the row for the analysis you want to select, select Actions > delete . When prompted, confirm that you want to permanently remove all results and URL configurations for this Dynamic Analysis.
