This guide walks you through creating a Qualys Vulnerability Management integration.

Configure new User for Integration

1. Log in to Qualys Vulnerability Management as an administrator

An administrator in Qualys is a user assigned either the Manager or Unit Manager role. This admin user can then create additional users, including a service user in our case, which will be linked to an email account that remains active even after the employee leaves the company.

• After logging in, navigate to the Vulnerability Management product and click the USERS option from the top menu (located toward the right side).
• In the Users interface, click New > User, which will open a modal titled New User.
• Under the General Information section on the left, provide the required details, including First Name, Last Name, Title, Phone, Email Address, Address 1, and Country.
• In the User Role section, ensure either Scanner or Reader is selected for the user's role, and check both the 'GUI' and 'API' boxes.
• Under Asset Groups on the left, click the 'Add asset groups' dropdown and select either 'All' or the specific asset group(s) needed.
• Click the Save button located at the far right corner of the modal to create the user account.
• Note the new entry for newly create user, which will show the random username for this account.
• Finally, log out of the current account, and log in with the newly created user credentials.

2. Completing service account registration for Service Integration

• The registered email will receive a message containing a link to begin the user registration process. Note: Please copy the OTP code provided in the email, as you will need it on the next screen.
• Follow the prompts to complete the registration, and you will receive a password for the account. Note: If you lose this password, please follow the Forgot Password steps.
• On the same screen, you will find the base URL for UI and API access.
• Using the username from Step 1 and the password from Step 2, you can now log in to the Qualys Vulnerability Management UI.
