Issue
The Web App scan for a URL (e.g., http://www.cyrisma.com) may fail or produce incorrect results if the URL includes unnecessary prefixes, such as "www."
Solution
To resolve the issue:
Verify the URL Configuration
- Ensure the URL entered for the Web App scan does not include "www." unless explicitly required by the application.
- Example: Change
http://www.cyrisma.comtocyrisma.com.
Reconfigure the Web App Scan
- Access the Web App scan settings in your CYRISMA instance.
- Update the URL field to the corrected address (e.g.,
cyrisma.com).
Run the Scan Again
- Save the updated configuration and re-initiate the Web App scan.
Notes
- If the issue persists after reconfiguring the URL, verify DNS settings or consult your web application administrator.
