[Nagios-users] check_http and self signed certs

[Masoud Tabrizi]

All,
We are using version 4.1.13 for the check_http for checking our URLs.
it seems like the check_http is not able to get through the self signed
certs we have installed;
Are there any options or suggestions to get around this?
thanks in advance

This should work, also with self-signed certs. Doing this in my Nagios
config as well.
Whats the check_http command you're launching?
What's the error message?

Using -H url -I IP -s string -f follow and -p where applicable
Timeout seems to be the issue yet the URLs are loading fine in less than a second, (-t is set to 45 seconds as well)
Thanks

Generally you can use -S and -p 443 for SSL-sites. It doesn't matter if the
certificate is verified or self-signed.

./check_http -H www.example.com -p 443 -S
