I'm trying to launch a scan from the command line and Nessus keeps asking me to approve 
the ssl certificate. When I hit "y"
it spits back Invalid server certificate.

I'm not sure what's happening there, but see below...


command syntax I'm using:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -c <config file> -V -q 127.0.0.1 user pasword target_list 
report.html &

When I try and do the above I get an ssl error that says:
[6027] SSL_connect: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert 
handshake failure and then everything craps out.

It looks like you have ssl_version set to "SSLv3" in the client configuration but either it's unset or set to something else in nessusd.conf.
