Technical Information for Self-Hosted Integrations

Modifying the Scanner Dockerfile

The wss-scanner image Dockerfile is located in the wss-scanner\docker\ folder.
By default, the following package managers are installed:

  • Maven (3.5.4)

  • npm

  • Bower

  • Yarn

  • Gradle

  • Pip and Pip3 (Python)

If you would like to add support for additional package managers, uncomment the relevant lines in the Dockerfile. The following package managers are available as part of the commented lines in the Dockerfile:

  • Mix (Elixir)

  • Hex (Erlang)

  • Go Modules, Dep, godep, VNDR, govendor, gopm, glide (Go)

  • Cabal (Haskell)

  • Paket, NuGet (.NET)

  • Composer (PHP)

  • Poetry (Python)

  • Packrat (R)

  • Bundler (Ruby)

  • Cargo (Rust)

  • SBT (Scala)

  • Cocoapods (Swift)

If a package manager you would like to scan is not mentioned above, please contact Mend Support.

Required Open Ports

The wss-scanner Docker Container

The wss-scanner Docker container communicates with the following components using the following ports:

  • Mend SaaS API → Port 443

  • Your repository platform’s git protocol → The default is port 9418

  • Private/public package registries (npmjs/pypi/ruby gems, etc.) which use the standard ports

The wss-gls-app/wss-ghe-app/wss-bb-app Docker Container

The wss-app Docker container communicates with the following components using the following ports:

  • Your repository platform instance API → Check the port number with your repository platform Admin.

  • The Mend SaaS API → Port 443

  • The wss-remediate server Docker container port as configured by the user → The default is 8080.

The wss-remediate Docker Container

The wss-remediate Docker container communicates with the following components using the following ports:

  • Inbound:

    • Requests are received via a single port (default is 8080) from the wss-app Docker container

  • Outbound:

    • Internally:

      • Your repository platform instance over https (default port is 443)

    • Externally:

      • Mend SaaS API → Port 443.

      • Private/public package registries (npmjs/pypi/ruby gems, etc.) which use the standard ports

Repository Platform

Your repository platform instance requires the ability to communicate with the following components using the following ports:

  • wss-<integration_type>-app Docker container → Recommended is 5678

  • wss-remediate Docker container → Recommended is 8080

  • wss-scanner Docker container → Recommended is 9393

NOTE: All port numbers on the Docker containers are the user’s choice

Enabling HTTPS Support for the Webhook Interceptor

The app container supports two ways of enabling HTTPS protocol for the webhook interceptor:

  • Using Java KeyStore containing valid certificate and private key, as environment variables:

    • WS_KEYSTORE_FILE_PATH - path to the keystore file

    • WS_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD - password for the keystore file

  • Directly provide a certificate and private key files, as environment variables:

    • WS_HTTPS_CERT_FILE_PATH - path to the certificate file

    • WS_HTTPS_KEY_FILE_PATH - path to the private key file

App Container Startup Check

Available from version 21.1.2 of the integration

Upon startup, the app container provides a clear indication of the connectivity status between itself and the remediate container, the repository platform (SCM) API, and the Mend application server. The startup check also validates the activation key provided in the initial configuration. If needed, error messages are displayed. Each check results in one of three status types, as listed here:

  • SUCCESS

  • FAILED

  • SKIPPED

...

Check Name

...

Skipped if the Activation Key Parsing check returns a FAILED status.

...

If this check returns FAILED, the controller will shut down.

...

Activation Key Validation

...

Validates the content of the parsed activation key.
Skipped if the Activation Key Parsing or Mend API Connectivity checks return a FAILED status.

...

If this check returns FAILED, the controller will shut down.

...

Mend Credentials

Checks that the Mend service user (generated as part of the integration) has regular and admin access to the integrated Mend organization.
Skipped if the Activation Key Parsing or Mend API Connectivity checks return a FAILED status.

...

...

Checks the Mend application server queue implementation (ability to send and receive messages).
Skipped if the Activation Key Parsing or Mend API Connectivity checks return a FAILED status.

...

SCM API Connectivity

...

Checks the connectivity with the SCM (Bitbucket, GitHub, or GitLab) API.
Skipped if the Activation Key Validation check returns a FAILED status.

...

Controller to Remediate Connectivity

...

Checks the connectivity from the wss-app container to the Remediate container.

...

Remediate to Controller Connectivity

...

Checks the connectivity from the Remediate container to the wss-app container.

...

GitHub App Permissions

...

Checks that the GitHub App has all the required minimal permissions and event subscriptions in place.

...

Only relevant for Mend for GitHub Enterprise.

When all checks are finished, a summary table will be written to the log, for example:

...

Environmental Variables

NOTE: The old names are still supported for backward compatibility. If they exist, the environment variables will take precedence over properties in the prop.json file.
