whitesourceExecuteScan

Execute a WhiteSource scan

Description

With this step WhiteSource security and license compliance scans can be executed and assessed. WhiteSource is a Software as a Service offering based on a so called unified agent that locally determines the dependency tree of a node.js, Java, Python, Ruby, or Scala based solution and sends it to the WhiteSource server for a policy based license compliance check and additional Free and Open Source Software Publicly Known Vulnerabilities detection.

The step uses the so-called WhiteSource Unified Agent. For details please refer to the WhiteSource Unified Agent Documentation.

Docker Images

The underlying Docker images are public and specific to the solution's programming language(s) and therefore may have to be exchanged to fit to and support the relevant scenario. The default Python environment used is i.e. Python 3 based.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via config.yml file. In this case, calling the step is reduced to one simple line.
Calling the step can be done either via the Jenkins library step or on the command line.

Jenkins Pipeline

library('piper-lib-os')

whitesourceExecuteScan script: this

Command Line

piper whitesourceExecuteScan

Outputs

Output type	Details
commonPipelineEnvironment	custom/whitesourceProjectNames

Prerequisites

Your company has registered an account with WhiteSource and you have enabled the use of so called User Keys to manage access to your organization in WhiteSource via dedicated privileges. Scanning your products without adequate user level access protection imposed on the WhiteSource backend would simply allow access based on the organization token.
