TLS PSK Issue

[CPT]

Hello,
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere and I wasn't able to find it. I'm new to Zabbix and I'm trying to set up encryption for agent communications. I am creating a PSK as outlined in the Zabbix documentation, which appears to be just a normal openssl command. When I try to put the generated code into the Zabbix GUI, I am given the following error: "Incorrect value for field "tls_psk": an even number of hexadecimal characters is expected." Anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I am using the output from the command "openssl rand -hex 32" as mentioned here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...generating_psk . Thanks in advance.

It's simple
in zabbix gui, click in host --> Encryption
Enable PSK
PSK Indentity: key identify
PSK: **Hexadecimal**

Hey Solution,
Thank you for providing that info. Turns out I had typoed something when I was trying to set it up in the Zabbix GUI. I apprecaite the help though. I'm getting a new error when I try to start the agent on the server though. It's saying that connection type "unecrypte" is not allowed. I've updated the conf file for psk, so I'm not sure what I've missed.

You need to configure the agent to use PSK.

restart the agent after changing the conf.
