Configure glpi-agent to authenticate by certificate mutual TLS

I need to ensure that only my computers can communicate with the server.

The best way I found was by using mutual TLS because I have an internal CA and want to use it.

So, I want to know if I can configure the glpi-agent to connect to a server informing one certificate to do the mutual TLS.

My infra is with a glpi server beyond one traefik proxy where I configured the authentication by certificate.

Please help me.

Re: Configure glpi-agent to authenticate by certificate mutual TLS

Hi htschannerl

you can try to create a client certificate for agents, install it with agentq in a PEM format file and set its path in the agent configuration with the "ssl-cert-file" parameters. This is not well tested so your feedback will be appreciated.

Re: Configure glpi-agent to authenticate by certificate mutual TLS

my case self-signed certificate for apache with a forced redirection.

- try in /etc/fusioninventory/agent.cfg fill it like this ca-cert-dir = /etc/ssl/certs/
- systemctl restart fusioninventory-agent
- fusioninventory-agent
you'll have no error
therefore you'll access agent in web browser in http "http://localhost:62354/".
IT WORKED FOR ME.
