Hello,

Trying to setup a test platform, without TLS , in the “Add poller/agent configuration” configuration there is this warning :

“You have selected No TLS for the encryption level. This parameter is meant for test purposes only and is not allowed in production. The agent monitoring will stop after 1 hour. “

 

We are all big boys, sys admin.

We dont want to have to restart the agents all day long when we will test the agents, please remove this behavior.

We all know when we want TLS and when we didn’t.

Thanks !

I’d say deal with it, they advertised that aspect a while ago for security reasons.
We can be happy they don’t force to use a TLS certificate from the start.

You can always just use a self cert if that really bothers you big boy.


Please don’t be rude ​@Alexandre Belhomme 

 

When we test, we want fast setup, simplicity and there is no need for security.

Of course in production it’s much better to use TLS, but why enforce this ? If think it better to let the user choose their way.


I wasn’t that was a joke that simply used your own words based on the tone of your post.

And while i agree, TLS is very easy to implement this days with self signed certificates and PKIs within companies. Even for a developpement environnement, i believe it’s a good practice to enforce security by design even at that step.

I understand the need for fast iteration but in my opinion i believe that it is better to implement that as soon as possible.


Me I agree with author…it’s us to choice 

me i have a lot problem for use with TLS then that I use everytime certificat for a lot a things… so for moment just i want to test CMA plugin but  we can’t about this restriction 

the secure by design is nice, me toot my goal are migrate all hosts in security communication with poller or central.
