Generate Personalization Code
To register a new containerized scanner, users need a personalization code from their Qualys subscription. However, rerunning an existing containerized scanner does not require a new code; the existing personalization code can be reused.
Follow these steps to generate the personalization code:
- Log into the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform.
- Choose Vulnerability Management.
- Go to Scans > Appliances and select New > Containerized Scanner Appliance.
- Click Continue from 'I have my image'.
- Specify a name for your virtual scanner.
-
Click Next to walk through the wizard.
-
Copy the personalization code.
You can check the activation status in the same window after deployment.
- For generating Perscode through API, refer to the Add new virtual scanner API from VM API documentation.
- You receive an 'Activation Code' in the API response, referred to as 'perscode' in the case of the Scanner Appliance.
