Nessus Server Hostname
(for email links)
The IP address or hostname for the Nessus server. Note that this will only work if the
Nessus host is reachable to the user reading the report.
Encryption
Specify what type of encryption should be used.
Auth Method
Method for authenticating to the SMTP server. Supported methods are None, Plain,
NTLM, Login, and CRAM-MD5.
Username
The username used to authenticate to the SMTP server.
Password
The password associated with the username, provided the SMTP server requires a
username and authentication.
LDAP Server
In Nessus Enterprise, the “LDAP Server” tab (under the “Settings” menu the left), allows you to configure an LDAP
server so users can authenticate to the Nessus server using LDAP domain credentials.
If you try to add a user to Nessus from LDAP with a character such as “!” or “$” in it, Nessus gives a 400 error.
Nessus only accepts the A-Z, 0-9, ., _, -, + and @ characters in the username field.
