"Authentication Configuration not found" is the clue. After generating new server certificates (different process to the client certificates) you will need to register the new scanner CA with openvasmd. This is what worked for me.
root@localhost:~# openvasmd --modify-scanner **uuid** --scanner-ca-pub /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem --scanner-key-pub /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/CA/clientcert.pem --scanner-key-priv /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/private/CA/clientkey.pem Then you should be able to openvasmd --rebuild More details here https://hackertarget.com/openvas-tutorial-tips/#openvas-update-certificates Regards, [email protected] *Hacker Target Pty Ltd* https://hackertarget.com On Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 3:50 AM, Harsh kapadia <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I’ve tried searching for solution to the below issue but nothing seems to > work.
