Configure CxConnection

CxSAST Server Connection Configuration

CxConnection

An example connection configuration element is shown below:

<CxConnection URL="http://www.foo.com" TimeoutSeconds="600" ValidateCertificates="true" />

Each attribute can be configured as follows:

Attribute	Description
URL	The URL to the Checkmarx SAST server.
mnoURL	The URL for M&O if different from SAST. If empty, M&O data will not be included in data output.
TimeoutSeconds	The number of seconds to wait before assuming a call to the REST API times out.
ValidateCertificates	Set to true to perform SSL certificate validation. Set to false to disable certificate validation.
RetryLoop	(optional) Defines the number of retries an operation will execute after a timeout or an unexpected error. Defaults to 0. WARNING This will potentially make operations wait TimeoutSeconds * RetryLoop seconds before failing and recovering in a subsequent crawl.

Environment Variable Substitution

Configuration values provided for this section can embed a reference to an environment variable by delimiting the name of the variable with %. While this is typically a construct used on Windows, this applies to all platforms. Example:

<CxConnection URL="%URL%" TimeoutSeconds="600" ValidateCertificates="true" />
