Remote host is not using the good version of the Nessus communication
protocol (1.2) or is tcpwrapped.
This error generally arises because the server is using SSL while the
client is not, or the other way around.
This message appears when SSL is disabled because when I try to login
using SSL I get SSL error.
What SSL error do you get exactly
Protocol 1.2 error:
This happens when SSL is swtiched off from client. I'm not sure how to
switch it off on the server side; do I just comment the CA line?
SSL error:
Happens when I switch on SSL support in client. When using SSL the error I
get is simply (SSL error), that's it, nothing else!
More info about my setup:
My .nessusrc
trusted_ca = /opt/nessus/com/nessus/CA/cacert.pem
nessusd_host = 127.0.0.1
nessusd_user = Linuxnizer
paranoia_level = 2
hide_toolbar = no
hide_msglog = no
use_ssl = yes
use_client_cert = yes
nessusd_port = 1241
cert_file = /root/CERT-KEYS/cert_Linuxnizer.pem
key_file = /root/CERT-KEYS/key_Linuxnizer.pem
Client cert generated by nessus-mkcert-client. Small note here, the doc says
copy many files including std.cnf, I only found stdC.cnf.
Here is nessusd.conf
cert_file=/opt/nessus//com/nessus/CA/servercert.pem
key_file=/opt/nessus//var/nessus/CA/serverkey.pem
ca_file=/opt/nessus//com/nessus/CA/cacert.pem
Running FC4.
Thanks
