settingsInheritedFrom

String

When the global configuration is enabled, this parameter will specify the location of the whitesource-config repository from which it will inherit its configuration. It must contain the GitLab user name, repository name and branch (optional) of the repo-config.json file location. The default branch is 'master', but can be modified according to the location of the repo-config.json file in the whitesource-config repo. 

NOTE: You can override specific parameters that are relevant only in the specific repository by adding these after this parameter.

Examples:

Using only values defined in the global configuration:

"settingsInheritedFrom": "whitesource-config@master"

Using values defined in the global configuration and overriding the scan settings parameters:

"settingsInheritedFrom": "whitesource-config@master", 
"scanSettings": {
  "projectToken": "12345",
  "baseBranches": ["master","integration"]
}

No

N/A

configMode

String

The configuration mode to be used for each scan. There are three options:

• AUTO - Automatic mode. This will use the default WhiteSource configuration. 

• LOCAL - Local mode. This will look for a local 'whitesource.config' file to be provided in the root folder of the current repository. The configuration file should be in the same format as the Unified Agent configuration file. NOTE: Not supported in the Global Configuration.

• EXTERNAL - External mode. This will look for a configuration file specified according to the configExternalURL parameter. 

No

Auto

configExternalURL

String

The URL of the external configuration file (you can choose any filename). The configuration file content should be in the same format as the Unified Agent configuration file.

The following protocols are supported: 'ftp://', 'http://', 'https://'.

For example: 'https://mydomain.com/whitesource-settings/wss-unified-agent.config'

NOTE: This parameter is relevant only if configMode was set to EXTERNAL.

No

Empty

projectToken

String

Adds the ability to map a GitLab repository to a WhiteSource project. The parameter used needs to be the WhiteSource project token.

NOTE: Not supported in the Global Configuration.

No

Empty

baseBranches

Array

Adds the ability to specify one or more base branches for which scanning results will be sent to a new WhiteSource project.

Example usage: ["master", “integration"]

This will set both master and integration branches as base branches.

Note the following:

• An Issue will only be created for the specified branch names.

• Repositories which do not contain the baseBranches parameter will have issues generated for all branches.

• For each specified branch, a WhiteSource project will be created. The name of the project will contain a suffix "_branchname". For example, MyApp_dev. This suffix will not apply to the default branch.

NOTE: This parameter is available only from version 20.7.1.

No

Empty 

In this case, the base branch only consists of the default branch.

enableLicenseViolations

Boolean

When enabled, a new WhiteSource License Check will be generated for each valid push.

NOTES:

• This parameter is available only from version 20.11.2.

• You must have it least one policy of match type By License Group defined with a Reject action in the WhiteSource UI.

• The policy name in the WhiteSource UI must start with a “[License] “ prefix.
  For example, "[License] PolicyName".

No

false

enableRenovate

Boolean

When enabled, Remediate will raise automated Merge Requests for outdated dependencies in addition to Merge Requests remediating vulnerable dependencies. Remediate will then perform all the functionality and support all the configuration options available in WhiteSource Renovate.

See Renovate configuration options for all configuration options.

Refer here for parameter usage.

No

false

transitiveRemediation

Boolean

Whether to enable transitive remediation for NPM repos.

When npm v6 (npm v7 is not currently supported) is used with a package-lock.json file, and vulnerabilities are found within transitive dependencies in the file, then in most cases Remediate is able to successfully remediate the vulnerability. Sometimes it may not be possible to successfully remediate because a parent dependency does not yet have a new release that allows the necessary fixed-in version of the transitive dependency.

No

false
