How do you pki (certificate) enable Cacti?

Post by gcsweatman »

I'm running Cacti 8.8b on Server 2012 R2 using PHP 5.6. The site runs great!

I need to enable the website so users can login with there certificate that has been issued by the certificate authority. Can anyone help with this?

That has nothing to do with Cacti... you should consult the web server manual on how to generate the request and get it installed.

I guess I need to explain the issue a little bit better. :) I need CACTI to authenticate to a CA using the users PKI issued by the CA. The server has a web server certificate issued by the CA.

Basically, you wouldn't have to type in a password or username. We do this with other websites like SharePoint and Java based websites because its a requirement from the customer. No one on my team has ever done it using PHP though.

We have to use a two step process. Authentication and Authorization. The PKI part is just the Authentication portion.

ah, looks like this has been requested before: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51112 but I'm not aware of it being implemented...

Log a feature request on http://bugs.cacti.net/ so its more present on the devs.
