Configure Tenable Nessus Network Monitor for Certificates

To allow SSL certificate authentication, you must first configure the Tenable Nessus Network Monitor web server with a server certificate and CA.

This process allows the web server to trust certificates created by the CA for authentication purposes. Generated files related to certificates must be owned by root:root and, by default, have the correct permissions.

This section contains the following instructions:

• Create a Custom CA and Server Certificate

• Create Tenable Nessus Network Monitor SSL Certificates for Login
