InsightVM Python from GitHub

We’re trying to utilize the scripting features from the InsightVM GitHub repo. We’re running into errors and I was curious if anyone was able to work around these or if they reached out to Rapid7 for assistance.

I’m using the sample “assets.py” file in the repo.
Rapid7 VM Console Python Stuff

Just saw that I have the same behavior on my script. It might have something to do with the urllib2 that they use. I have to dig a bit deeper.

Or could it be that they only accept TLS 1.2 nowadays

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am also seeing the exact same problem

Yes, it’s was not the python lib. It was me forgetting some part

config = rapid7vmconsole.Configuration(name=‘Rapid7’)
config.username = login
config.password = password
config.host = url
config.verify_ssl = True
config.assert_hostname = False
config.proxy = None
config.ssl_ca_cert = ‘/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt’
config.connection_pool_maxsize = None
config.cert_file = None
config.key_file = None
config.safe_chars_for_path_param = ‘’
auth = “%s:%s” % (config.username, config.password)
auth = base64.b64encode(auth.encode(‘ascii’)).decode()
client = rapid7vmconsole.ApiClient(configuration=config)
client.default_headers[‘Authorization’] = “Basic %s” % auth

I think it was the bold line above, I don’t remember exactly. I think I already wrote in another forum thread/post.

I have the bold line mentioned by fsfetea, but I still have the same issue.

Commenting out lines 72 and 73 from the configuration.py file fixes the issue.

"/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rapid7vmconsole/models/configuration.py"

I did not find a way to completely resolve the issue. I ended up building my own authentication mechanism in Python and building my own scripts without the use of the Rapid7 libraries.

can you please share your authentication mechanism in Python?

Thank you!!! - this took care of the issue when calling get_site_assets
