nessus_connect fails

[superteece]

I'm unable to connect to my running Nessus server. I can log into the server via a browser without issue. I tried "localhost" as well as 127.0.0.1 with Nessus_connect. Searching for an answer I came across someone with the same problem and the response was, "We'll track this on github" but I don't see it listed as an issue.

This is what I see when trying to connect msf to Nessus:

msf > nessus_connect superteece:************@127.0.0.1:8834 ok
[*] Connecting to https://127.0.0.1:8834/ as superteece
