Nagios Support Forum

Hello all,
I want to change from http to https. I assume the information I need is this document:
Configuring_SSL_with_Nagios xi.pdf
but getting an error 404 accessing it.
Problem for me cause I need it urgently for a project.
Someone has the docu running nagios xi with https?

Can someone help?

Yeah, the link was broken, thanks for the heads up!

It should be accessible now from the following URL within 5mn of this post:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_xi.pdf

Let us know if you're still having trouble with it.

Anyone notice Nagvis no longer function when you force SSL?

It may very well be that there is a call in NagVis that is hardcoded to call to http. You could try doing rewrites with Apache if you want to see if that fixes your problem:

Here is a good link on how to do it:

Thanks Scott!...if i go directly to https://*.*.*.*/nagvis... it work just fine but kicking it off from within the nagiosxi launch page...it continues to try http:// and fails...any pointers on which files governs the path and iframe window?

nms,

Any calls that Nagios xi makes should go through the config.inc.php, which should be set to https enable as specified in the doc, do you remember editing the config.inc.php to do that?

Yes indeed... Added $cfg['use_https']=true

Whats interesting is...if i click no to pass unsecured content (via the internet explorer popup) it shows the page via https which means it is functioning somewhat...also there is a typo in the configuring ssl with nagios.pdf....the NameVirtualHost *.443 should read *:443 (might throw a few folks off when they restart apache)

When i scroll over the link..it still shows http while bbmap and the rest shows https

nms,

I found where it was hardcoded. IN the file

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagvis/nagvis.inc.php

On line 104 there is a call to http://

If you want you can just change it to https, or just take the http part out and have your browser resolve it for you everytime. I'll update this component to use the Nagios xi API to call to reference the config.inc.php and let you know what I've done it.

Perfect! Thanks Alot nscott...would have taken me forever to track down which file...(dont ya just hate hard paths )

Thanks for the file link nscott. I am glad I found this thread because we were considering moving to https for a project next month. Cheers
