IQ for Visual Studio 2019

Projects created using a PackageReference format (as opposed to the older packages.config format) can be scanned, and individual dependencies can be remediated, however, due to a NuGet limitation, we are not able to automatically detect changes in the dependencies, so users will need to manually rescan.

At this time, the extension only supports the locally installed project cache libraries.

IQ Server options are available from within the Visual Studio Options dialog. A URL, Username, and Password can be entered at any time and an Application may be chosen for each solution when opened. The Verify button can be used to verify the connection if a solution is not opened:

Whereas the Reload button will load available applications when a solution is opened.

Starting with version 1.3.0, the extension supports cert authentication.

Clicking the Select button, next to the Certificate field, will open a security dialog. By selecting a cert, typed credentials will empty out and certs will be used for authentication. To revert and use typed credentials, fill in the username and password fields.

Windows Security prompt will display options from the Personal Certificates store. Managing this store is accomplished by using MMC and the Certificates Snap-In. To provide additional choices, right-click the Certificates folder and follow the prompts to install a certificate. Note: Ensure the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store contains a record for the IQ reverse proxy.

After clicking Verify and confirming a successful connection can be made, select an application from the dropdown and restart Visual Studio. Re-opening Visual Studio and the IQ extension will open a certificate prompt to re-establish a secure connection.
