TLS

Enables TLS encryption for the RELP connection.

This parameter applies to omrelp: RELP Output Module.

Name:

TLS

Scope:

input

Type:

boolean

Default:

input=off

Required?:

no

Introduced:

at least 7.0.0, possibly earlier

Description

If set to “on”, the RELP connection will be encrypted by TLS, so that the data is protected against observers. Please note that both the client and the server must have set TLS to either “on” or “off”. Other combinations lead to unpredictable results.

Attention when using GnuTLS 2.10.x or older

Versions older than GnuTLS 2.10.x may cause a crash (Segfault) under certain circumstances. Most likely when an imrelp inputs and an omrelp output is configured. The crash may happen when you are receiving/sending messages at the same time. Upgrade to a newer version like GnuTLS 2.12.21 to solve the problem.

Input usage

action(type="omrelp" target="centralserv" tls="on")
