Applies to

  • ActiveIQ Unified Manager (AIQUM) 9.6 and later
  • OVA deployments of ActiveIQ Unified Manager (AIQUM)

Answer

No, security scanning tools, such as VAscan, cannot be used with the OVA, due to the following:

  • Permission modification to the maintenance user is not supported.
  • The root account cannot be enabled to allow security security scanning on OVA deployments of AIQUM.

However, security scanning tools can be used with AIQUM deployed on RHEL or Windows servers, using the root or administrator accounts.
