[Xymon] Xymon Encrypting End Points for Azure

[LOZOVSKY, DANIEL]

Thanks Jeremy.  I was thinking about using stunnel which seems more straight forward.  Too bad about development being stalled.  Hopefully, it will restart soon.  Really need this functionality.

Transport encryption between client and server has been planned for an upcoming release. However, development appears to have stalled so I wouldn't expect anything soon.

As there is currently no native encryption, you have a few other options for this:

* use stunnel on both client and server
* configure the clients to connect using HTTPS, and install a CGI script to handle the connections
* use ssh tunnels

Some of these methods can also incorporate authentication, to improve security even further.

More on these techniques can be found here:

I am in the process of migrating xymon to Azure client.  My group need to make sure application end points are encrypted meaning that Xymon will need to use secure connection.  What is the best way of accomplishing this task that you can recommend?
