<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am publishing my Nagios web console to be accessible over the interweb, now I need to make it secure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have loaded a test VM with Nagios 3.4.1 on, on Ubuntu 12.04 desktop to test on rather than play with SSL on the live box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have followed this guide:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">http://blog.stefandanielschwarz.de/2010/02/howto-securing-nagios.html<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I cant get it to work………<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I browse <a href="https://localhost/nagios">https://localhost/nagios</a> firefox returns:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Secure Connection Failed<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><o:p> </o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>An Error occurred during a connection to localhost<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the cert setup I entered localhost for the Common Name. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the live box though I will enter the FQDN that I will hit over the internet abc.def.com for example<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anybody give me any pointers on how to sort this out on the test box please?<o:p></o:p></p>
