Configure a Nexus Registry in Prisma Cloud

Log in to Console, and select 
Compute > Defend > Vulnerabilities > Images > Registry settings
.
Select
Add registry
.
In the
Add New Registry Setting Specification
, enter the following values:
In the
Version
drop-down list, select 
Sonatype Nexus
.
In
Registry
, enter the hostname, or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), and the connector port for the Nexus registry’s login server.
The format for the FQDN is
<hostname>:<connector_port>
, where
<hostname>
is a unique value specified when the registry was created, and the
<connector_port>
is the one you configured in the Nexus repository administration.
Example:
<http|https://<nexus_hostname>:<HTTP/HTTPS connector port for the specific Nexus repo>
.
https://ec2-100-25-223-135.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8083
Leave the
Repository
blank or include a pattern to match the Docker repositories inside the Nexus registry.
For example: To scan all the images under a path, include the
path/to
string.
Optionally enter the Repositories to exclude them from being scanned.
In
Tag
, enter an image tag. Leave this field blank to scan all images, regardless of their tag.
Optionally, enter Tags to exclude, to avoid scanning images with specified tags.
In
Credential
, configure how Prisma Cloud authenticates with Nexus registry.
Select a credential from the drop-down list.
If there are no credentials in the list, 
Add
new credentials and select the Basic authentication.
You can optionally enter a custom
CA certificate
in PEM format for Prisma Cloud to validate the Nexus registry.
Custom CA certificate validation is supported only for non-Docker nodes (e.g. OpenShift).
Ensure that the Custom CA certificate that you use is not revoked by the issuing authority.
In
OS type
, specify whether the repo holds
Linux
or
Windows
images.
In
Scanners scope
, specify the collections of defenders to use for the scan.
Console selects the available Defenders from the scope to execute the scan job according to the
Number of scanners
setting. For more information, see deployment patterns.
In
Number of scanners
, enter the number of Defenders across which scan jobs can be distributed.
In
Cap
, limit the number of images to scan.
Set
Cap
to
5
to scan the five most recent images, or enter a different value to increase or decrease the limit. Set
Cap
to
0
to scan all images.
Select
Add and scan
.
Verify that the images in the repository are being scanned under
Monitor > Vulnerabilities > Images > Registries
.
