Use Qualys API Server URL

The Qualys API URL that has to be used for API requests depends on the Qualys platform where your account is located.

Refer to, Identify your Qualys platform and get the API URL. In the API URLs section, the API Gateway URL column in the table displays the gateway URLs for the corresponding Qualys platforms.

Qualys Container Scanning Connector uses gateway URL internally to test connectivity with Qualys platform and pull vulnerability data from Qualys.

From Qualys Container Scanning Connector v1.6.1.0, the plugin internally translates the platform URL input given by the user to its respective gateway URL.

Example:

If the user with US POD 1 account has configured URL 'https://qualysapi.qualys.com', then while making API call, the plugin translates this US POD 1 URL to its respective gateway URL that is 'https://gateway.qg1.apps.qualys.com'.

If you are already using the plugin, configure the platform's gateway URL to have your account for the new jobs.

From Qualys Container Scanning Connector v1.7.x, the user should manually enter the API server URL for the global or job-specific configuration. The dropdown to select POD is replaced with an interactive field where the required POD API server URL can be configured.

If the user wants to US POD1, the API server URL to be entered in the configuration field should be 'https://qualysapi.qualys.com'. This is converted into a gateway URL to generate the auth token and proceed further. The credentials for the same can be saved or selected (if existing already) from the below field.
