Can I use domain signed certs on the product? (maybe a silly question, but curious) -- I see where the .crt exists in program files/nagios/ncpa/var. "This is an unsupported workflow" is an OK answer.

Can I turn off the RSA ciphers on the webserver?
Can I turn off HTTP Options on the webserver?

Hi nagiosusermatthew,

In answer to your questions:

1) You should be able to setup your own certificates for NCPA. By default it generates new self-signed certs but there is an option, "certificates" in the ncpa.cfg config file to specify a certificate to use. Here is a like to the Config Option Reference:

https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help.php#co ... -reference

2) With regard to the RSA ciphers you should be able to prescribe the cipher suites you would like NCPA use via the ssl_ciphers option in the same config file. NCPA uses openssl so you should be able to find the available ciphers using the openssl ciphers command:
3) HTTP OPTIONS method. Unfortunately this is a little more complex. NCPA uses flask and the OPTIONS method is added automatically. Our development team is aware of the issue and are looking into it. The good news is NCPA is open source so in the mean time you can review the code and qualify the exposure for your auditor or security personnel, or if you're interested in working on it you're welcome to update the code and build a new version in your environment. I'll append links to the github page below.

Here's where the server code is specifically:
