Failed to send start message to ScheduledTaskExecuter when running VulnerabilityDownloader

Hi,

I'm trialling ProGet Enterprise and am having difficulty with the vulnerability scanner through Vor Security.

I downloaded something on the bad list and the vulnerability page said nothing and I then found that the downloader errors with the below message:

Logged: 10/03/2017 09:57:55
Level: Warning
Category: Messenger
Message: Failed to send start message to ScheduledTaskExecuter: Cannot connect to the service: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.
Details: at Inedo.Messaging.ServiceMessenger.ServiceMessengerClient.SendMessageWithResponseInternal(ServiceMessageBase message)
at Inedo.ProGet.WebApplication.Pages.Administration.ScheduledTasks.StartScheduledTaskPage.<>c__DisplayClass5_0.<CreateChildControls>b__1()

All credentials are correct for Vor so it must be a set up issue, any help?

Thanks

Product: ProGet
Version: 4.7.6

This message means that the web app could not communicate with the service; just stop both the service and the web app, then restart them.

Hi Alana,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I stopped both services, started the windows service, waited a couple of mins and then started the web service. Now when I do the check I get the below error in the job run:

Report status is error: Invalid username or password
Report generation failed.

Is this a auth failure with Vor?

Yes, that sounds like it... or your proxy server sitting inbetween

Hi,

So I delved into the Proget Vor Security extension and found the URL below gets used with the key on the end and a reference to a header too. Tried it through PowerShell and it is blocked so I'll get it added to the white list and retry :)

Thanks for your help
