[syslog-ng] syslog-ng using ssl

[Luigi Augello]

Hello
I try to use ssl ad I have the follow scenario:

One server (192.168.1.2) with this syslog.ng.conf

###########################################
@version:3.0


source s_sk{file("/var/log/messages");};
source s_ssl{
    tcp(ip("0.0.0.0") port (1999)
        tls(key_file("/root/Scaricati/certificati/privkey.pem")
        cert_file("/root/Scaricati/certificati/cacert.pem")));};

destination d_file{file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log");};

log{source(s_sk);destination(d_file);};
log{source(s_ssl);destination(d_file);};


One client (192.168.1.3) with this syslog.ng.conf
###################################################

@version:3.0


source s_sk{file("/var/log/messages");};
destination d_file{file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log");};

destination d_ssl{tcp("192.168.1.2" port (1999)
tls(ca_dir("/root/software/ca/")));};

log{source(s_sk);destination(d_file);};
log{source(s_sk);destination(d_ssl);};



I haven't a CA certificate and I use a self-signed certificate created
by these instructions

opennsl genrsa -out privkey.pem
opennsl  req -new -x509 -key  prixkey.pem  -out cacert.pem -days 1095

I follow step by step the instructions on "The syslog-ng Administrators
guide "
page 58 and so on  and I copied the cacert.pem  generated in the server
in the client and I use ln -s ....
When I try to start the server it starts. Though the client doesn't give
me any errors it doesn't start. I suppose the certificate  may crate
some problems.

tanks for help
