The actual path depends on the build and runtime settings of gvmd. By default it uses $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/var/run/gvmd.sock. But also the daemon must be running already. You can adjust the path of the unix socket via -c flag at runtime too. See gvmd --help

c, --unix-socket=<filename>                  Listen on UNIX socket at <filename>.

Please double check if gvmd is running at all and if is not configured to use TLS.

Hello,

I have the same issue as xieyt, how can we check if gvmd uses TLS? My gvmd service is running.

Hi,

this might be a bit surprising but gvmd and gsad don’t have config files for settings. All settings must be configured when starting the daemons. This means to change the settings you most likely have to adjust the systemd service files.
