openvas-manager Package Description
The OpenVAS-Manager is a layer between OpenVAS-Scanner and various client applications such as OpenVAS-Client or Greenbone Security Assistant. Among other features, it adds server-side storage of scan results and it makes it unnecessary for scan clients to keep connection until a scan finishes.
