Centreon Database ssl connection

Hi,

 

We have a distributed centreon 22.10.4 platform.

We would like to secure the connections between centreon central (client) and it’s database (mariadb server) by using x509 certificates.

We’ve already configured the client.cnf file and the server.cnf file by setting the right path and the right certicate.

 

We have this problem : mariadb sslv3 alert certificate unsuported

 

Do you have any idea about it ? Have you ever tried to secure the connection between centreon central and it’s deported db ?

 

We have x509v3 certificates with the right extension TLS Web Server Authentication for the server and TLS Web Client Authentication for the client.

 

Even if the connection works manually with simple certificates without extensions, centreon shows that : “Access denied for user 'user_'@'HOST' (using password: YES).

We would also like to know if centreon handle ssl in the core connection with database ? We’ve seen the db.pm file that does not take into account the eventuality of ssl use.

 

Regards.

Serigne

Hi @zaledia 

Centreon doesn’t support yet SSL connection.

You must create an encrypted tunnel between Centreon central server and DBMS.

Hello Laurent,

We cannot create an encrypted tunnel between Centreon and the RDS as it’s a PaaS. Do you have any other workaround to propose, please?

Best regards,

Christopher

Hello,

My problem is solved.

I installed ProxySQL on the Centreon central and configured the outbound traffic with SSL.
