Hi, I got some strange behavior while trying to create a custom Scan Configuration from GSA web interface I don't know if it is wrong or this is a normal behavior (In OpenVAS-6 I didn't had this problem)
1. Cloned the "Full and very deep" Scan Configuration. 2. Changed the name of the new configuration to "Default" and tried to save it, the result was : Operation: Save Config Status message: Given comment was invalid At least one entered value contains invalid characters or exceeds a size limit. You may use the Back button of your browser to adjust the entered values. If in doubt, the online help of the respective section will lead you to the appropriate help page. This message was persisting until I changed the "Most NVT's including those that can stop services/hosts; don't trust previously collected information; slow." value (which is the default one) to something simple like Default. Then I observed that if any of these two fields "Name" or "Comment" value contains "space" the error will persist. (ex. "Default Configuration" will fail, and "DefaultConfiguration" will work) 3.When the new configuration name was updated and saved I saw that a lot of NVT's are removed from the configuration, like 6656 NVT's remained from the 35223 NVT's that the "Full and very deep" configuration had, from which I cloned the settings. 4. At the "Edit Network Vulnerability Test Families" checked the "Select all NVTs" for the "Buffer overflow" family and pressed the Save Config button, when the page reloaded the checkbox for the "Buffer overflow" family was unchecked, no NVT's were added for that family. 4a. From the Action, edit the scan config family for "Buffer overflow", select a few vulnerabilities from there and then save the config. In this case the selected vulnerabilities will appear in the configuration. The idea is that selecting all the NVT's manually it will be a pain, at least for me. If I can help with anything else please feel free to contact me.
