Connect with an API token

  1. In Trivy:

    1. Trivy is an open-source CLI with no accounts or token UI. The only token Trivy documents is the shared secret of Trivy server (client/server mode).
    2. Choose a random secret and start the server with it, for example trivy server --listen <host>:<port> --token <secret>.
    3. Paste the same secret into Safeguard's token field.

    Where to find the other values:

    • Base URL (optional): The address the Trivy server listens on (the --listen value, for example http://host:8080). Health (/healthz) and version (/version) endpoints need no authentication.
    • Account / Org / Workspace (optional): Not used by Trivy; leave empty.

    Trivy issues this credential through its API or its support team, not through its admin screens.
