I am using apache + ssl for secure logins to my ELOG server. The doelog script uses the elog utility program, which is useful for posting ELOG messages from scripts or from the command line. My problem is that I cannot talk to my ELOG server with elog. |
This is because elog does not support "https" through secure socket layers (SSL). Also elogd does not, that's why you use Apache as your proxy. So the only way for you to use elog is to execute it on the server, where it can directly connect to elogd without going through the ssl layer of Apache. |
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your advice. As you say I can add entries using elog to my logbooks if I do it from the server on which elogd runs, in which case ssl and apache are bypassed:
$ elog -h localhost -p 8080 ...
Thanks once again for your excellent software!
