Hi, guys I am currently evaluating Watchfire's Appscan and one of the criterias is the flexibility in usage. I have this site which need to login through form user_ID and password submission (POST). The problem is the page will encrypted (by javascript) the password entry with a server-side dynamically generated RSA public key. And the encrypted password will be submitted and decrypted at server side. This means a different encrypted text is submitted with every login session. I am not sure whether Appscan can handle this case. As far as i notice Appscan only record down login credentials and reuse these credentials when it carries out scanning. Can it change the submission value dynamically according to the login page javascripts? Any alternative ways if this is not possible? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: CenzicConcerned about Web Application Security?
