Due to some vacation I will check this issue in some days.

I need this feature too, anything new about it ? Thanks!

The now used Requests modules supports server certificate verification and use of client certificates, but the private key of a client certificate has to be unencrypted: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification
I am not sure if this will get it into the upcoming 2.0 release, but later this is an option.

hello, is there an update on this topic? We'd like to add our icingaweb2 server, which is only reachable with a specific client certificate.
Thanks!

According to the mentioned https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification client certificates still have to be unencrypted.
Aside this there is still no support for it in Nagstamon.

This function would also be a big advantage for me. Our monitoring server is only accessible via SSH and HTTPs with client certificate. I would not like to maintain each user again in the operating system. Unfortunately I cannot find the place in the source code where I would have to add the certificates. Of course, a path in the config would be nicer, but I would also be able to store a fixed path for my colleagues in the manual (a client pem in the certifi folder?).

I assume you look for https://github.com/HenriWahl/Nagstamon/blob/master/Nagstamon/Servers/Generic.py#L218 and the following - at least there the HTTP-connection is set up.

No, I didn't suspect it there. I had searched in the product specific Python files.

The request modules does not support client certificates.

What about https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#client-side-certificates ?

from nagstamon.

The big message there:

Warning

The private key to your local certificate must be unencrypted. Currently, Requests does not support using encrypted keys.

This doesn't sound that great.
