I am getting started with the Verafin IDE for Visual Studio. I downloaded the extensions, made sure I have the ID and Key, read the doc, watched the video, and made sure I'm in the specified Greenlight group. When I click to update the credentials in VS "Configure Greenlight Credentials" I'm taken directly to the help site, not given the opportunity to enter the credentials.
Hello @JBrow31215 (Community Member) ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community,
I will need to review your company and user account on the platform to make sure you have the proper settings.
Could I ask that you please forward this information in a private chat.
Thank you,

I was able to make this work based on insight from Veracode team member on a project call.
To use the API follow the instructions below to create a file with the ID and Key in it for VS to access. I actually created this file exactly as shown in the help and the scan was successful in Greenlight. The Veracode team member said to put the .veracode folder in the "admin folder on the remote desktop". However, I did it exactly as the help doc indicates and put the .veracode folder and the file with the default API credentials in the "User->Myname" folder in Windows.
Instructions from Veracode:

follow these steps, except step 1 where it says "user folder" is really the admin folder on the remote desktop

I was able to make this work based on insight from Veracode team member on a project call. The basic steps are:
Step 1: Log in to the Veracode WebSite from the email you received. Click on the user dropdown in the top right that says “Your Name or Org”. Choose "API Credentials". Generate and copy your API credentials.
Step2: To use the API follow the instructions below to create a file with the ID and Key in it for VS to access. I actually created this file exactly as shown in the help and the scan was successful in Greenlight. The Veracode team member said to put the .veracode folder in the "admin folder on the remote desktop". However, I did it exactly as the help doc indicates and put the .veracode folder and the file with the [default] API credentials in the "User->Myname" folder in Windows on my BFSFCU desktop.
