I am exploring OpenVas tool for a project requirement, openVas is currently managed by Greenbone. I am getting error when I try to use remote scanner using python api.
I did all initial configuration, setup the required gui account etc and was able to scan the required systems manually however when I try to do the same using Python Api its not working. There isn't any example available on internet nor in there manual to verify my code. I have used [https://pypi.org/project/python-gvm/] api.
I wrote simple code but its not working..
from gvm.connections import SSHConnection
from gvm.protocols.latest import Gmp
from gvm.transforms import EtreeTransform
from gvm.xml import pretty_print
connection = SSHConnection(hostname='192.168.1.84',username='alex',password='alex@123')
gmp = Gmp(connection)
gmp.authenticate('admin', 'admin')
# Retrieve current GMP version
version = gmp.get_version()
# Prints the XML in beautiful form
pretty_print(version)
I am getting error-

I have tested SSH connection manually so the problem is either with my code or some other.
Additional Detail-
