Authentication for Gateway URLs

You must authenticate to the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform using Qualys account credentials (user name and password) and get the JSON Web Token (JWT) before you can start using the Gateway URLs. Use the Qualys Authentication API to get the JWT.

Example

"curl -X POST""<qualys_gateway_url>/auth""-d""username=value1&password=passwordValue&token=true""-H""Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

The Authentication API returns a JSON Web Token (JWT) which you can use for authentication during Container Security API calls. The token expires in 4 hours. You must regenerate the token to continue using the APIs.
