PSK requires Stunnel version 5.09 or higher. For an example of setting up authentication using PSK, see https://www.stunnel.org/auth.html . Note that the minimum PSK key length is 20 chars. Use the following steps to enable PSK for Agents.

1. Change PSK key file owner and group to 'uptimeagent', for example:
   

   Code Block
   language sql
   chown uptimeagent /opt/uptime-agent/conf/psk.txt chgrp uptimeagent /opt/uptime-agent/conf/psk.txt

   The following is an example of Stunnel configuration for the PSK support:

   Code Block
   language sql
   exec = /opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptimeagent options = NO_SSLv2

...

1. options = NO_SSLv3 options = NO_TLSv1 options = NO_TLSv1.1

...

1. ciphers=PSK

...

1. PSKsecrets=/opt/uptime-agent/conf/psk.txt PSKidentity=

...

1. test1

   
   

   Code Block
   language sql
   Example of content of /opt/uptime-agent/conf/psk.txt: test1:

...

1. qqtest11qqtest11qqtest11

2. When adding Agents to the Monitoring Station, be sure to

...

1. select Use SSL, Use TLS-PSK, and specify PSK identity/key or enable corresponding options on the Global Credentials Settings page. On the Global Credentials Settings page, configure the list of PSK identities and keys for specific IP addresses or IP ranges. These identities and keys

   For the PSK, in the IP/Hostname/IPRange field, indicate which Hostnames or IP address ranges to specify using one of the following formats:
   • a single subnet (e.g., 10.1.50)
   • multiple, comma-separated subnet entries (e.g., 10.1.50, 10.1.51, 10.1.52)
   • an IP address range (e.g., 10.1.53.65-120)
   • multiple subnets and an IP address range (e.g., 10.1.50, 10.1.51, 10.1.52, 10.1.53.65-120)

You may provide ranges only for address, but not subnets. Subnet Enter subnet ranges should be entered as a comma-separated series, as described above.
