credentials file does not exist - I just added Veracode Scan to my Visual Studio. When I click Authenticate it first prompts for region (Commercial, European, US Federal). I select commercial and then it says "credentials file does not exist"

What's the path forward?

    Hi @DEsry124271 (Community Member)​ 

     

    To resolve this, you need to ensure that your API credentials are correctly configured. The extension requires your API credentials to be stored in a local credentials file.

     

    For human user accounts, it is recommended to use Single Sign-On (SSO) with SP-initiated authentication instead of API credentials. With SSO, you can securely sign in to Veracode using OAuth from your IDE without needing to create or maintain an API credentials file (Create an API credentials file).

     

    If you are using API credentials, please ensure they are generated in the Veracode Platform and stored in a local credentials file as described in the documentation (Create an API credentials file).

     

    If you have recently added the Veracode Scan to Visual Studio, you might need to complete the authentication process again after ensuring your credentials are set up correctly. You can do this by selecting Open Veracode Scan from the toolbar, then navigating to the Getting Started tab and selecting your region, followed by Authenticate. If your API credentials are not automatically detected, you may need to manually ensure they are in the correct location and format.
