Can't create creds in Greenbone

[Alexander]

I have Greenbone/OpenVAS running and I'm able to interact with the
Greenbone GUI. I created a target to scan, but when I try to create
credentials for an authenticated scan, Greenbone hangs. The browser just
sits there waiting for a server response before timing out or returning an
HTTP 500. I don't see anything relevant in syslog or in the OpenVAS log
files.

I'm running Greenbone and OpenVAS on Kali Linux in Virtualbox.
openvas-check-setup reports that everything is working properly. Here are
the versions of all the OpenVAS components:

- OK: OpenVAS Scanner is present in version 3.4.0.
- OK: OpenVAS Manager is present in version 4.0.4.
- OK: OpenVAS Administrator is present in version 1.3.2.
- OK: Greenbone Security Assistant is present in version 4.0.1.

I assume this is due to the credential encryption.
If you migrated from OpenVAS-6, have you read the section "Migrating
Credentials" in the INSTALL file of OpenVAS Manager?

This is a fresh install on Kali, I'm not migrating from a previous version
of OpenVAS. I don't have any previous credentials to migrate, I'm trying to
add new credentials.

for a fresh install the key is automatically created. This causes
problems on systems with too few entropy.
Installing something like haveged can help here.
I am not familar with Kail though.
