I’ve read some other articles and documentation stating that in order to run authenticated scans in an ESXi environment, the scan engine uses the HTTP SOAP API in lieu of SSH. But what isn’t clear is how do you configure those credentials on the InsightVM side? I don’t see an option for this, so how does it know which credentials to use?

I am interested as well in setting up credentialed scans of our VMware ESXi hosts. Where are the steps documented and what type of credential do we use (e.g. ssh or HTTP) ?
