The first thing that springs to mind is using an SSH tunnel on the LDAP
server although I've never tested this.

You could run the following from the nagios server:

ssh -C -L 56666:IP.Address.of.certificate-server:5666 -n
ip.address.of.LDAP-Server

and install NRPE on the certificate server

You would then specify the check_nrpe commands to run against port
56666 on the Nagios server which would forward the data via the LDAP
server to the Certificate server.

As I say, I've not tested this, but in theory at least it should work.

Kind regards,

Matt
