Nagios xi and nsclient++ certificate based communication
Posted: Thu May 12, 2016 11:46 am
HI,
Please let me know the following:
I am using Nsclient++(x64) on Windows server 2012 R2; we have about some 30 of them.
I am using the following:
NSCP version 0.4.3
running system checks using check_nt and powershell scripts using check_nrpe.
I am looking at locking down the service and encrypting the communication channel as well as providing authentication. I can see that when i install NSCP the default mode is the safe mode, the client certificates are under Nsclient++\Security folder , iahve ca.pem, certificate.pem and nrpe_dh-512.pem files.
IN this regards, what configuration settings do i need to do, to enable certificate based encryption and authentication. please let me know. I am attaching my current nsc.ini file along for you to point me where things need changing. thank you.
P.S. if there are any other methods that can improve security please suggest.
