--- title: Qualys Asset Connector Guide slug: rbvm-help/qualys-asset-connector-guide createdAt: 2026-10-26T13:51:23.480Z --- **Summary**: How to set up and use the Qualys Asset connector in Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB. ## Qualys Asset Connector Overview Qualys is a cloud service that proactively locates and identifies vulnerabilities through automated scanning. Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB offers an API-based connector that integrates Qualys vulnerability information into the Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB platform for further prioritization and accessibility. ## Qualys Asset Configuration This setup requires an account with Qualys and access to the **Asset View**. ### Qualys Asset User Permissions A User can be assigned to one or more Roles, which are a consolidation of Permissions that represent the rights to access features and functions. API Access can be given to a User when assigning or editing their Role. Locate **Users** in the Navigation Bar and either create or edit an existing user. In the pop-up window, select a User Role. Then select or deselect the API check box. ![Qualys Asset Connector - Edit User in Qualys](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/skGPPbNEb4Zm7nQW9q5qv_qualys-asset-connector-guide.png) **Note**: For more information, please visit [Qualys.Community](https://qualys-secure.force.com/discussions/s/article/000006319). ## Connector Configuration in Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB ### Setting Up the Qualys Asset Management Connector Navigate to the **Automation** > **Integrations **page. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/N6T9UnB5FOanUDKWj7uEe_palo-alto-xpanse-expander.png" alt="Navigation - Automation - Integrations" position="flex-start" size="33" width="229" height="151" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Palo Alto Xpanse Expander.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Palo Alto Xpanse Expander.png" showCaption="false"} Using the search bar in the upper-right corner of the **Integrations** page, type **Qualys** to find the connector. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/HbgbRRLX9ukn8eeDXmoqa_qualys-asset-connector-guide1.png" alt="Qualys Asset Connector - Search for Qualys" position="flex-start" size="98" width="686" height="289" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_1.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_1.png" showCaption="false"} Locate the **Qualys Asset Inventory** card under *Asset Management* and click **Configuration**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/X8GEmJAiZBF7v3Ul-OrAA_qualys-asset-connector-guide2.png" alt="Qualys Asset Connector - Configuration Button Location" position="flex-start" size="34" width="237" height="255" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_2.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_2.png" showCaption="false"} In the new window under *Connection*, complete the required fields, as described below. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/68YvxwUR7ZeCghFJ8JsBW_qualys-asset-connector-guide3.png" alt="Qualys Asset Connector - Configuration Window" position="flex-start" size="75" width="527" height="523" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_3.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Asset Connector Guide_3.png" showCaption="false"} - **Name**: The connector’s name. - **URL**: Qualys Asset URL (i.e., https\://qualysapi.qg2.apps.qualys.com/) - **User Name**: The user name that has access to Qualys. - **Password**: The password associated with the username. - **Network**: Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB network name (ingested applications associated with this network).
