I have gone crazy the past days with all the subtleties of the the new -12 revision of IETF's syslog-transport-tls draft. I've not coded much and even forgotten to post here on the blog. After all, I at least now got fingerprint support (mostly) up and running - much more work than I initially though. The good thing is I learned quite a lot :) So here is the past day's rsyslog work log, as far as I have it: 2008-05-09 to 2005-05-16 Somehow I lost track of the work done - see git log for details... :( 2005-05-17 - made action logic pass optional auth params only if they are actually configured - added new authMode and Fingerprint methods to ptcp netstream driver (keeping them once again generic) - added diagnostics messages when invalid auth modes were configured 2008-05-19 - corrected fingerprint string formatting - improved/added error messages - first implementation of server-based client fingerprint check - implemented permittedPeers helper construct to store names - changed omfwd implementation to use new permittedPeers 2008-05-20 - worked hard on fingerprint auth, but can not seen in code (lots of mailing list work and spec review)
