Configuring Web Server Information Advanced Settings

Note:

Advanced settings can either apply for all connections for this adapter, or you can set different advanced settings and/or different scheduling for a specific connection, refer to ​Advanced Configuration for Adapters

To configure the Web Server Information adapter advanced settings, open the Web Server Information Adapter page, click Advanced Settings, and then click the Web Server Information Configuration tab:

  1. Fetch data from SSL scanner (required, default: False) - Check this option to fetch data from Qualys SSL Labs.

    • When this is enabled this will enrich device data with SSL Labs data, that includes information about the server host, its endpoints and indications on exposure to known SSL vulnerabilities, such as Heartbleed and POODLE.
      • To enrich device with data from Qualys SSL Labs:
        • Host name is required in the Web Server Domain field (see Adapter Parameters). If the device data does not include a host name, one of the following can be used:
          • Device IP address, that must be a public IP address.
          • Domain, if fetched as part of the SSL Certificate data.
        • Port 443 must be opened for Axonius to use the SSL Labs API.
  2. Qualys SSL Labs API v4 registered email (optional) - This field is available only when Fetch data from SSL scanner is enabled. Enter a Qualys SSL Labs API v4 registered email. To register a valid email address via CLI, run the following command:

curl --location 'https://api.ssllabs.com/api/v4/register'  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe", "email":"john.doe@company.com", "organization":"Company"}'
Note
