OAST Options
A tabbed pane allows you to configure the available OAST services.
General Settings
These are options not specific to a single OAST service.
Active Scan Service
A dropdown menu that allows you to select the out-of-band service that will be used by active scan rules.
Permanent Database
Enabling the "Use Permanent Database" option will allow you to persist registered out-of-band payloads in ZAP's
permanent database. The persisted payloads will be loaded into memory and polled along with other payloads as per the
set polling interval. The permanent database is currently only supported by the BOAST service.
NOTE: This means that Alerts may appear in a ZAP session which is not directly or specifically related
to the original assessment/scan.
Days to Keep Records
The number of days records will be kept in the Permanent Database.
Records will only be deleted when ZAP starts up, or if you save the options with a lower "Days to Keep Records" value.
Clear All Records
This button will delete all records from the Permanent Database.
You will not get any OOB alerts for any records that have been deleted.
Service-Specific Configurations
Look at the individual options page of each service for more information about the available settings for that service.
