Doc Text:
.OpenSSL added for encrypting Rsyslog TCP and RELP traffic The OpenSSL network stream driver has been added to Rsyslog. This driver implements TLS-protected transport using the OpenSSL library. This provides additional functionality compared to the stream driver using the GnuTLS library. As a result, you can now use either OpenSSL or GnuTLS as an Rsyslog network stream driver.

Description Renaud Métrich 2020-10-26 10:45:11 UTC
Description of problem:

A customer requests being able to use openssl TLS implementation instead of gnutls with rsyslog on RHEL8.
Apparently the code is there since 8.36.0:

https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/concepts/ns_ossl.html

It seems it's just a matter of compiling with "--enable-openssl".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
