Agent Walkthrough
The IAST agent is responsible for monitoring the application activity and collecting security related data. All collected data is sent to the IAST Server for further analysis.
The Agent Walkthrough page provides detailed instructions on configuring the AUT environment and setting up the agent in the AUT.
Note
AUT stands for Application Under Testing.
When installing the agent for the first time, you have to download the agent. Afterwards, the agent is upgraded automatically unless the auto upgrade has been disabled in the agent configuration.
From the Agent Walkthrough page, select a language from the Select language dropdown list.
Click <DOWNLOAD>. The 'CxIAST-agent' zip archive is downloaded to your default download folder.
Transfer the zip archive to the host on which the application is tested and extract its content to a folder of your choice on that host.
Start the application according to your installation. For additional information, refer to Configuring the AUT Environment.
