implementing https on nagios servers

Post by benhank »

Hi everyone.

I have been tasked with implementing https on my nagios servers. We have generated the certs required but I dont know how to get themn on the server and working with nagios. Can you show me what I need to do to get this working?

I think I should rephrase this request.
I want to replace the default certifications on the linux boxes with certs created by my domain admins.
I am asking for directions for changing the default certs with the ones we have created. thanks guys!

The steps are in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... s%20XI.pdf. The doc goes through everything, but all you should need to do is check the ssl.conf to make sure the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile options are enabled pointed at your certificate and key.
