Enabling Codebashing

Once you have purchased Codebashing, you have the ability to enable the Codebashing add-on and log in to Codebashing from CxSAST. This page is designed to navigate the Checkmarx user through the Codebashing add-on enablement procedure.

Note

  • Enabling Codebashing requires an active Internet connection and the SMTP settings properly configured with your email address in CxSAST.
