Nagios Support Forum

We have configured ldap authentication in nagios core with "AuthType Basic", but this communicate with ldap with plane text password and this is security breach.

Need you help to configure secure ldap authentication.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/m ... _ldap.html suggests using ldaps:// instead of ldap:// in the configuration to secure the connection. Please review this page and provide a copy of your configuration if you need further assistance.

For secure LDAP authentication configuration require ssl certificate ?

Usually not for the Core server, but it all depends on the ldap configuration. You may need to use these directives:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/m ... clientcert
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/m ... globalcert
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/m ... rustedmode
