Read nessus-core/README_SSL

5.3. The client

The client has three "levels of paranoia" (see paranoia_level in
.nessusrc)
1. The certificate hash is matched against what was previously stored
   in .nessusrc.cert
   If the certificate was modified (or is brand new), nessus will ask
   you if you accept it. Please read it *carefully* and answer "yes"
   or "no".
   If "no", the connection will be rejected.
   If "yes", the certificate SHA1 hash will be stored into
   .nessusrc.cert and nessus will never bother you again with it, 
   EVEN WHEN THE CERTIFICATE BECOMES OUT OF DATE!

2. The certificate will be accepted IF AND ONLY IF it is signed by a

   trusted CA. In .nessusrc, trusted_ca should point to the right CA
   file.
   We rely entirely upon OpenSSL for all this, and the certificate
   will be rejected as soon as it is out of date, as far as I know.
   Use this level if you manage many servers.

3. The certificate MUST be accepted by OpenSSL first, i.e. be valid
   AND signed by a trusted CA. After that, the behaviour looks like
   level (1)
   This level is good for paranoid who manage several servers.
