That's interesting - I checked and there was no 'rules' file.

I've solved the problem now!

I had been creating the certificates using nessus-mkcert-client. This was creating the client certificates and it said it was adding the users to nessus. However, it was not asking for rules details, or creating the file.

I looked at using nessus-adduser, but when you opt for the 'cert' option it was asking for details, but not creating a cert. However, it was placing the rules file in the right place.

If I do nessus-mkcert-client first, and then nessus-adduser, I get the error message because the user already exists, so it won't let me do anything.

If I do nessus-adduser, and then nessus-mkcert-client, it warns me that 'Certificate, key or Nessus DN file(s) already exist.' and asks me if I want to overwrite them! I did this, and it created the file, and I copied it to my machine and everything worked fine!!

Is it supposed to work that way?

Thanks,
Joe

Make sure there is a /usr/local/var/nessus/users/<login>/auth/rules and
/usr/local/var/nessus/users/<login>/auth/dname.
