Nessus no longer uses the file nessusd.users. Instead, you must run nessus-adduser to define users to nessusd. And when you do this, you need to choose whether to authenticate by password or by certificate. If you opt for the latter, you'll be prompted for some info for a "Distinguished Name" for the user; take note of your answers and then use them again when you run nessus-mkcert-client to create a certificate for the user. With that, you can create a private key that's not encrypted; the nessus client will still expect you to enter a password, but any non-null string will work.
