security transmission
Hi,
Is there any way to encrypt data transmitted from the Hobbit Client to
the Hobbit Server? Currently, if someone put a sniffer on the network
will have access to all information transmitted, as they are in plain
text.
Install autossh. Configure public-private key pairs such that
user-3fdce28d5f64@xymon.invalid trusts user-28b91f9726b6@xymon.invalid with proper
key.
On Hobbit server hobbit.vak12ed.edu,
autossh -M 64998 -f -f -N -R 127.0.0.234:1984:hobbit.vak12ed.edu:1984 -i
~hobbit/.ssh/id_rsa.flotsam user-3fdce28d5f64@xymon.invalid
tunnelbox.vak12ed.edu is set up with BBSERVERIP=127.0.0.234, thus reports
over a secure tunnel.
