[syslog-ng] how to enable TLS on syslog-ng 3.2.5

[Scheidler, Balázs]

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.
