The ScanEngine typically logs into Unix/Linux hosts using the SSH protocol (which is usually on port 22).

Login failures using the SSH protocol are indicative of credential problems (wrong login id, wrong password, account without permission to login from given IP Address, and so forth). To find hosts that can not be scanned for non-credential reasons, this query might help instead.

SSH Connection Failure (Per Project)

Note that this query will list ALL login failures for a project - helpful when determining if your credentials are in the wrong order as well as finding hosts you cannot log in to. Getting your credentials in the correct order (i.e. minimizing failed login attempts) will reduce the risk of locking out an account and also speed up the scan.following query will list all targets that iQSonar was unable to log in to, which we suspect are running Linux or a Unix-type OS

The following queries will list the targets and the credentials which failed. These queries work on older versions of iQSonar.
