RVY200725 - Configuring certificates in RayVentory Inventory Agent

Introduction:

The RayVentory Inventory Agent has multiple ways how to configure secure connections, this article describes how and where to configure those and how to disable the certificate check entirely.

Note:

- RayVentory Inventory Agent does not consider certificates from the windows certificate store

- You can add multiple parameters to the properties, you can simply type a blank between the arguments

1. Disabling certificate check

To disable the checking for the certificate, go to SETTINGS → INVENTORY → INVENTORY AGENT → EDIT

In the CONFIGURATION EDITOR add a "-k" to the properties  "configDownloadCurlArgs" and "resultUploadCurlArgs"

2. Specifying the certificate location

To specify the certificate location, go to SETTINGS → INVENTORY → INVENTORY AGENT → EDIT

configDownloadCurlArgs = --cacert =<pathtocertificate>

resultUploadCurlArgs = --cacert =<pathtocertificate>

configDownloadCurlArgs = --capath=<pathtocertificatefolder>

resultUploadCurlArgs = --capath=<pathtocertificatefolder>

3. Adding the certificate directly into the .crt file

Navigate to the installation location of the InventoryAgent and open the file curl-ca-bundle.crt

You can manually copy the certificate to the file. This has to be done for every location where the agent is installed.
