Web Server SSL Port HTTP Traffic Detection

info Nessus Plugin ID 15588

Synopsis

An SSL detection issue might impede the Nessus Scan.

Description

Nessus has discovered that it is talking in plain HTTP on an SSL port.

Nessus has corrected this issue by enabling HTTPS for this port only. However, if other SSL ports are used on the remote host, they might be skipped.

Solution

Enable SSL tests in the 'Services' preference setting, or increase the timeouts if this option is already set and the plugin missed this port.
