QULAYS_CLIENTSECRET
OAuth client secret. For IDP authentication, use this variable to specify the client secret configured for your Identity Provider.
TOKEN_URL
Required for IDP authentication. Specify the URL of your Identity Provider (IDP) token endpoint. The pipeline sends an authentication request to this endpoint to obtain an access token.
SCOPE
Optional for IDP authentication. Specify the scope to request from your Identity Provider. This field is optional unless your IDP configuration requires it (for example, Okta requires this field). If a required scope is missing or invalid, authentication fails.
AUDIENCE
Optional for IDP authentication. Specify the audience value configured for your Identity Provider. This value must match the audience configured in QAS. If the values do not match, authentication fails.
BREAK_ON_ERROR
Set this variable as false if you do not want the pipeline to fail on an error. Else, set this as true or do not add this variable.
