Use Assess CLI with .NET agents
Use this procedure if you are using Contrast .NET agents and want to find vulnerabilities while running API or end-to-end testing.
Before you begin
Verify that your application can use the Assess CLI by checking the .NET Core supported technologies or .NET Framework supported technologies.
Steps
Install or update your agent manually.
Important
Do not create a configuration (YAML) file for the agent. The Assess CLI creates this file automatically.
Open a terminal window and enter the Assess CLI command.
contrast assess
This command generates the agent configuration file that the Contrast CLI and the agent share. CLI commands describes the options for this command, including the path for the configuration file.
You see output similar to this:
✔Configuration file found at "user_path"⠼ Waiting for the session to be created.Run your application using your IDE or a second terminal window.
Exercise your application, either interactively or using automated API or end-to-end tests.
In the terminal window where you entered the Assess CLI command, view the results.
