Hello,
I have installed the Qualys Vulnerability Integration plugins.
I am trying to set it up using the Setup assistant.
I entered the Login credentials for Qualys, however when running the Knowledgebase and Host detetction scans I see the below errors in the error log.
Error: Invalid response code 403 received from Qualys
Can some one let me know what is this error for?
Thanks
Suraj

Okay. SN setup should be something like:
Name: Qualys
Server URL: https://qualysapi.qg3.apps.qualys.com
Username: <login name>
Password: <password>
Be certain you have the correct fully qualifiedServer URL
If you are copying the password, make sure you are not picking up a trailing space.

Make sure the Qualys credential is not waiting for a password change (required on new creds). Log into the Qualys UI using this credential and reset password if prompted.

I logged in using the credentials in the Qualys UI and there was no prompt for password change.

Try connecting via Postman. It provides much better messaging and debugging.
