Depending on the extent of the security requirements 'ssh-tunnel' may be an alternative.
Various methods of tunnelling Xymon are documented here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Gui...
For example, add the following to tasks.cfg:
[xymon-over-ssh] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD ssh -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 -o batchmode=yes xymon at xymon-client '/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd sh -c "XYMSRV=127.0.0.1 /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh"' LOGFILE $XYMONERVERLOGS/xymon-over-ssh.log INTERVAL 5m
This requires no additional software. As long as the xymon user can ssh to the remote xymon client machine using key authentication, and as long as the xymon client is installed in the expected location, it should work as expected.
