VPM Scanner Not Working

Jim Walsh_2 — Wed, 11 May 2005 09:37:21 GMT

Here is the following error that I recieve when I go to scan a machine now.

Step 2: Enter scan name and choose a vulnerability scan definition.
Unable to connnect to VPM scanner. Check VPM Event Lists for additional details.

Bad thing is that nothing gets put in the event log, so I can't tell what is going on.

Has anyone seen this or have any ideas on how to fix it or what I should be looking for?

TIA

Best I can get is going though the event log on the actual SIM box and I see these kinds of messages.

-----------------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: HP Systems Insight Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 3
akrhpsimna01: VPM Generic Internal Error: Event Name: VPM Generic Internal Error
Event description: An internal error has been detected in VPM

Summary: VPM Generic Internal Error
Explanation: Unable to connnect to VPM scanner: "(500)Internal Server Error"

-----------------------------------------

We have an encrypted proxy here at work, and VPM doesnt like that. I had a firewall rule for managementsoftware.hp.com added to not require authentication. Is there another site I need to do this for as well?
