Inprotect Setup Guide

This article takes one through the process of setting up Inprotect (a web based front end to the Nessus network vulnerability scanner) and the associated services using the Web User Interface (WUI) included with the NST. ***NOTE*** Inprotect was available starting with the 1.5.0 release of the NST, but was removed starting with the 2.11.0 release of the NST. We have not had time to go back and work on the updates required to make it compatible with the new packaging introduced in the 2.11.0 release of the NST.
