    Option Description
    Arcon Host

    Note: If your Arcon installation is in a subdirectory, you must include the subdirectory path. For example, type IP address or hostname/subdirectory path.
    Arcon Port (Required) The port on which Arcon listens. By default, Tenable Security Center uses port 444.

    API Key (Required) The API key provided by Arcon.
    Authentication URL (Required) The URL Tenable Security Center uses to access Arcon.
    Password Engine URL

    (Required) The URL Tenable Security Center uses to access the passwords in Arcon.
    Username (Required) The username to log in to the hosts you want to scan.
    Checkout Duration

    (Required) The length of time, in minutes, that you want to keep credentials checked out in Arcon. Configure the Checkout Duration to exceed the typical duration of your Tenable Security Center scans. If a password from a previous scan is still checked out when a new scan begins, the new scan fails.

    Tip: Configure the password change interval in Arcon so that password changes do not disrupt your Tenable Security Center scans. If Arcon changes a password during a scan, the scan fails.
    Use SSL When enabled, Tenable Security Center uses SSL through IIS for secure communications. You must configure SSL through IIS in Arcon before enabling this option.
    Verify SSL Certificate When enabled, Tenable Security Center validates the SSL certificate. You must configure SSL through IIS in Arcon before enabling this option.
