GSAD on Openvas 7 doesn't take credentials, hosts or tasks

[Alexander]

I'm having this same issue with Openvas not taking credentials. I've gone
through the same troubleshooting steps with the same results. However,
killing and restarting the openvasmd process does not fix the issue, I get
the same process hang result.

What else can I do?

I can kill the command?and LSOF shows nothing on sqllite other than
openvasmd.
If I kill openvasmd and rerun it, then I can send the credentials via the
omp now just fine and it shows up in the GSAD.
Yet..try credentials through gsad and it hangs.

I am really not sure, it sounds like a lock on the sqlite databases
perhaps.
Can you kill the omp command that is hanging, then use lsof to figure out
if another process has locked the sqlite db?

OK?here's what I tried
omp
--xml="<create_lsc_credential><name>testcreds</name><login>DOWNTOWN\test</login><password>12345</password></create_lsc_credentials>"
--username=admin --password=password
And it just hangs there.
And yes?right now the admin user is admin with a password of password.
The Credential I am trying to make is an smb login to a windows domain
Ideas?

Yes, you would use that exact XML command to create your credentials.

Might have spoken too soon?
Looks like I can create targets just fine?but Credentials?are a no go?.it
sits and hangs on the credentials
Would I use the create_lsc_credentials manually in omp to check this?

OK?that?s what I did and I got a successful response.
When I listed out the ?get-targets omp command, I actually saw the ones I
tried to create in GSAD.
So I go back into GSAD and it shows my targets and my credentials that I
tried to create before.
That?s interesting. Nonetheless?it seems to be working now?it?s taking
tasks through the GSAD?so whatever was hung up is OK now.
Must have been the OMP commands because I restarted this thing a truck
load of times trying to see if it clears up.
Thanks for all your help

You can pass -u and -w (username and password, respectively) as arguments
as well.

I just restarted all the services as you asked that. They all came back up
fine?and it now says ?Failed to authenticate?
Do I need a username and password in this XML string to correctly Identify
myself?

OK?tried that?and it came back and asked for a password. I entered the
admin one (as that?s the only one I have setup) and it said ": Failed to
Acquire socket."

This will basically tell you whether the manager or GSA is the issue.
Yep, you will need to build a small XML snippet to create a target, then
omp --xml="<create_target><name>All GNU/Linux machines</name><hosts>
192.168.1.0/24<http://192.168.1.0/24></hosts></create_target>"
omp --get-targets

Looks promising?but I must be stuck on a syntax error or something. The
commands on the OMP site documentation don't match what I get when I tryp
omp --help
I get this for options?and all I see is create task, no create credentials
or targets

You can use the 'omp' utility to talk with the openvas manager directly,
either with some of the prebuilt arguments, or with explicit XML.

Not sure?how does one try that in the OpenVas 7? I made the jump from 3
to 7 here?so I?m sure I?ve missed some of the commands along the way
All insight is appreciated
Thanks

Can you create targets with raw OMP?

Hello Openvas..
I have a fresh build of Open Vas 7 running on Ubuntu 14.04. Installed from
sources. Install went great.
Libraries 7.01
Scanner 4.01
Manager 5.0
GSAD 5.0
CLI 1.30
Openvas-check comes back perfectly clean.
I can log into the Greenbone web console. When I try to add a target, or a
credential, the site simply sits there. it doesn?t time out, it doesn?t
fail, and it?s not frozen because I can navigate to other parts of the GSAD
site?.yet the credential or the target, or whatever, never gets created.
What could be the issue and where can I go to start looking for a problem?
The GSAD, Scanner, and Manager log files are all clean
Thanks
Tom Powers
