<Warning: newbie alert> I�ve looked through the archive, but did not find an answer to my problem.
I have installed nessus on a Linux (SuSE) box, and I�m trying to connect to it with NessusWX. I keep getting this error every time I connect: �Server doesn�t have valid X.509 certificate� I�m not sure if this is supposed to be the server as in the box where nessud is running, or the certificate for the nessusd itself. I can connect to the box using ssh, so there is defenetly a certificate on the box (I�m using Putty and WinSCP successfully). I might have messed something up after installation, so here�s what I did. *Finished the installation, seemingly successful. *Didn�t think about the nessus-mkcert, so I didn�t do that yet. *Added a user, �user1�, and set it to be local (will never be used since I have on graphical user interface to the box, so I should have dropped this). *Added a user, �user1remote� to connect from anywhere and with no rules (not even default accep). *Ran nessus-mkcert *Start up nessusd using �nessusd �p 995 �D�. Port 995 is chosen because it is open through the F/W and allows ssl (I hope). *Fire up NessusWX, and try connecting on port 995. *I get the same error no matter which protocol I use. �Server doesn�t have valid X.509 certificate� *If I kill the nessusd I get a different message: �Cannot establish connection with the server�. This makes me believe the problem is with the nessus certificate. I was no intending to use a client certificate (at least not until it works with just passwords), so I haven�t done that yet. My config (/usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf) file looks like this (I haven�t touched it yet): ---------------------- # # Added by nessus-mkcert # cert_file=/usr/local/com/nessus/CA/servercert.pem key_file=/usr/local/var/nessus/CA/serverkey.pem ca_file=/usr/local/com/nessus/CA/cacert.pem # If you decide to protect your private key with a password, # uncomment and change next line # pem_password=password # If you want to force the use of a client certificate, uncomment next line # force_pubkey_auth = yes -------------------------------- All three certificate files exists in the correct locations. Can anyone help me out?
