Hello,

I'm trying to make Nessus use some certificates instead of the normal
password authentication but I fail to make it work. I've looked at the
documentation (including README_SSL) and Google in vain... Does anyone
use certificate authentication?

FYI, here is what I've done:
 - create a server certificate with nessus-mkcert
 - create a client certificate with nessus-mkcert-client
 - added a user with nessus-adduser with the corresponding DN
 - put the correct paths in nessud.conf and .nessursc
 - restarted the daemon

In the procedure, I'm never prompted for a password so I guess the
client key is not password protected. However, the Nessus GUI wants a
password. When I type one, I get a "failed login" message.

Any help would be appreciated...
