Hello
I am currently using a key exchange authentication between nessus client 
and nessus server.

When using a .nessusrc configuration file for batch scans, I can put the 
login/cert/key information in it and log on without password,
even if the command line remains :
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -c My_Laptop.nessusrc localhost 1241 secadm 
password targets results.nbe

But how can I achieve the same with a .nessus file?
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q --dot-nessus My_Laptop.nessus --policy-name 
batch_policy localhost 1241 secadm password
ends in "login failed" .
When I run NessusClient My_Laptop.nessus , I can connect without password.

I fear that the login information is kept in a "global" file out of the 
My_Laptop.nessus file...
