Nagios Support Forum

hi team,

I have followed the instructions as per the below article to Configure ssl on the Nagios server version 5.8.1:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... s%20xi.pdf

We are using digicert as the certificate authority and we have .csr, .csr. and .key in the respective place. we restarted the httpd service also but we could see the web server page.

i could not find errors on /var/log/httpd/error_logs as well. Kindly help.

Moderator's Note: The profile has been shared with the support team but has been removed from the public forum.

Are you allowing port 443 thru the firewall?

Try opening the port using this command (as root):

its done already as it was working properly 1 day before. anything else that i can check.

[root@cvrmnagiosxi002 sunilka]# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp

From the system you're running curl from what does this output?
Please run this command as root on the xi server and send me the resulting /tmp/HTTPDFILES.zip:

PM your latest /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log as well please.

Thank you!

What's the output from the following commands?

cannot upload the http since The extension zip​ is not allowed.

please find the HTTPD files.

This SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG error is due to a protocol mismatch; The supported protocols by the client's OpenSSL version can't negotiate with the server's OpenSSL configuration.

Try changing the lines in ssl.conf from: to Also what's the output from the following command? Note on SSL and hardening

If you're looking to generate secure Apache+OpenSSL configurations, Mozilla has published an SSL config generator that will help you write your Apache configs: https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-t ... generator/

A good utility to test how secure your SSL certificate, and show device compatibility, is here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

Your httpd configuration got messed up somehow.

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf must include the line:In order for Nagios xi to work.

I turned this on in your configuration and it started running into syntax errors in /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf.

The configurations were modified by someone or something, and broken. They were edited beyond just configuring an SSL certificate and key file.

In lieu of tracking down all the syntax errors in your configuration, I'm attaching the default set of configuration files that exist in /etc/httpd, modified with the exact changes that Nagios xi makes to them when you install Nagios xi 5.8.3 under CentOS 8.
