How can I configure Qualys TA without GUI?

I'd like to automate the deployment of this TA by configuring the connection information through CLI/scripting. The documentation unfortunately only describes how to configure the credentials and connection information through the GUI. How can I perform these same actions without using the web interface?

Hey

You have a qualys.conf file that you can easily deploy massively:

[setupentity]
username = 
password = 
api_server = https://qualysapi.qualys.com
log_detections = 1
log_host_summary = 1
log_extra_host_summary = 1
log_host_details_in_detections = 1
minimum_qid = 0
first_run = True
use_proxy = False
proxy_user =
proxy_server =
proxy_password =
use_multi_threading = False
num_threads = 2
enable_debug = False
preserve_api_output = False
last_run_datetime =
log_individual_findings = 1
log_webapp_summary = 1
use_multi_threading_for_was = False
num_threads_for_was = 2
