Hi, all I would like to enable credentialless discovery, according and following documentation I have installed nmap on midserver (manually, due to security restriction auto install do not work). Installation of nmap was successful.

Mid server is up, validated and working fine. But... when i try to add Nmap capabilities to midserver in configuration of midserver, option is not saved , simply is not possible to add. Tried already multiple time, multiple ways... any suggestion. (Yes global sys property to enable such type of discovery is set to yes, and Yes i dig community forum for similar cases)
Any suggestion why nmap capabilities are not saved in configuration ?

@WojciechSzefler were you able to get a solution. I am also in same situation

Just wondering, is it maybe that some run-time (VC run-time -don't know which one) nmap requires is not installed on the server?

Also if you look @ the description of Component "Nmap MID Server capability" @ Credential-less Discovery with Nmap it is stated that

A system administrator cannot add or remove this capability manually. Self-hosted customers who have the maint role can modify or delete the Nmap capability, but should not do so.

So I wonder what exactly do you mean by:

when i try to add Nmap capabilities to midserver in configuration of midserver, option is not saved

Are you trying to do what the docs say can't be done?

Yes, i'm admin i can do what i want.... 🙂 but it doesn't work... as documented or "designed"

Yes, but the docs imply even admins can't add the capability to a MID server.

I mean just by creating the capability record.
