NRDP and NRDS secure encrypted transfer

Post by pcpostar »

Ho there,

I really can not find a relevant answer:

If i set nrdp configuration to send checks to HTTPS://nagiosserver/nrdp, is it enougt so client will send checks back to nasiosserver via port 443 and on secure session?

What is the token in nrdp configuration for?

Is ther any oher security implementation for passive checks secure or encrypted transfer?

I would really appreciate your help,
Cheers, Peter, Slovenia

Yes that is all that is needed for a basic nrdp setup. You are welcome to harden the ciphers or ssl keys used, to further the security if you wish. As for the token, this is to ensure that the client should be sending data to nagios. There are no other negative implications that I can think of, this is probably one of the safest easiest routes to configure passive checks.
