You can check, edit, and remove your GitHub connections in Burp Suite DAST.

Checking the GitHub connection

When you click Next on Authentication, Burp Suite DAST checks the deployment address and token. The check runs when you save, or change the deployment address or token.

To troubleshoot any connection problems, see Troubleshooting GitHub connections.

Opening the GitHub connections page

To edit or remove a connection, first open the connections page:

1. Log in to Burp Suite DAST as a user with the Modify settings permission.

3. Click Integrations.
4. On the GitHub tile, click Edit.

Editing a GitHub connection

1. Open the connections page.

To change the repository and fields for GitHub issues, see Choosing the repository and fields for GitHub issues.

Removing a GitHub connection
