On the one hand there is the possibility to authenticate yourself by username and password. The other option is authentication using client certificates. With the automated query of the Icinga2 API, the setup of client certificates is not only safety-technically advantageous, but also in the implementation on the client side much more practical.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the official Icinga2 <a href=\"https:\/\/icinga.com\/docs\/\">documentation<\/a> does not provide a description of the exact certificate creation process. Therefore here is a short manual:<\/p>\n<h4>After installing Icinga2 the API feature has to be activated first:<\/h4>\n<pre>icinga2 feature enable api<\/pre>\n<h4>The next step is to configure the Icinga2-node as master, the easiest way to do this is with the \u201cnode-wizard\u201d program:<\/h4>\n<pre>icinga2 node wizard<\/pre>\n<h4>Icinga2 creates the necessary CA certificates with which the client certificates still to be created must be signed. Now the client certificate is created:<\/h4>\n<pre>icinga2 pki new-cert --cn  --key .key --csr .csr<\/pre>\n<p>The parameter <code>cn<\/code> stands for the so-called <code>common-name<\/code>. This is the name used in the Icinga2 user configuration to assign the user certificate to the user. Usually the common name is the FQDN. In this scenario, however, this name is freely selectable. All other names can also be freely chosen, but it is recommended to use a name that suggests that the three files belong together.<\/p>\n<h4>Now the certificate has to be signed by the CA, Icinga2:<\/h4>\n<pre>icinga2 pki sign-csr --csr .csr --cert .crt<\/pre>\n<h4>Finally, the API user must be created in the file \u201capi-user.conf\u201d. This file is located in the subfolder of each Icinga2 configuration:<\/h4>\n<pre>object ApiUser {\r\nclient_cn = \r\npermissions = []\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p>For a detailed explanation of the user\u2019s assignment of rights, it is worth taking a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/icinga.com\/docs\/icinga2\/latest\/doc\/12-icinga2-api\/\">documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least Icinga2 has to be restarted. Then the user can access the Icinga2 API without entering a username and password, if he passes the certificates during the query.<\/p>\n<p>You can read up on the services we provide for Icinga2 right<a href=\"https:\/\/www.credativ.de\/en\/software\/icinga2\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post was originally written by Bernd Borowski.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two ways to authenticate yourself as a client to Icinga2.
