Hi,
This will send the data over https + protect it with username/password:
Create server/cgi-binpas directory
Copy or symlink xymoncgimsg.cgi in that directory
Create etc/htpasswd file with the htpasswd command
Add this to xymon-apache.conf (replace <installdir> with the correct full path) and restart apache: ScriptAlias /xymon-cgipas/ "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas/" <Directory "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas"> Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymLinks AuthType Basic AuthName "Monitoring Client' AuthUserFile "<installdir>/server/etc/htpasswd" Require valid-user </Directory>
Use this in the xml configiration file on the windows client: <serverUrl>https://x.x.x.x/xymon-cgipas/xymoncgimsg.cgi</serverUrl> <serverHttpUsername>client</serverHttpUsername> <serverHttpPassword>client</serverHttpPassword>
For Linux or AIX, I have some scripts and config files as drop-in replacement for the xymon binary based on wget or curl. If you are interested, I can send it off-list.

Can anyone advise on the method to have the Debian xymon-client send its data to the Server using SSL instead of port 1984?
Thanks so much
