Error description

  • 1) Expected behavior:
    AppScan configuration should have a limitation of 30000ms (0.5
    minute) to the "Request rate limit" option.
    
    2) Observed behavior:
    currently there is no time limit for the value of "Max Request
    in [milliseconds]" if users set high values AppScan will hang.
    
    3) Workarounds (if applicable):
    use values lower than 30000 ms (0.5 minute)
