Hi,

Well, SSL is the "older" non-standard name of TLS and is used to refer to older protocol versions. We use those terms (SSL and TLS) interchangibly. OpenSSL is an implementation of both SSL and TLS.

syslog-ng 3.2 by itself definitely supports SSL/TLS the question is whether it was compiled into your binary, as it is a compile-time option. Where is your binary coming from? Some kind of Linux distribution?

You can always compile it with SSL enabled, but it's not always a trivial challenge (depending on the Linux platform you are compiling on and your experience with compiling stuff from source). But if you go to the recompilation route, I would also upgrade to a newer version, 3.2.x is ancient by any means. It's about 5 releases behind the current latest-and-greatest (3.7.x is the latest stable series, 3.8.x is in the making).

If you need help with deployment/compilation, just ask on this mailing list, or the Balabit may be able to help, just let me know if you want me to make contacts.

Hi guys,

 

How do we enable TLS on OSE version of syslog-ng version 3.2.5?

Or is it simpler to enable SSL ?
