Although the elogd program does not support secure -connections over SSL directly, it is possible to use it together with -stunnel to do so. Three steps are -necessary: +connections over SSL directly, it is still possible to access elogd +securely using one of the following methods: + +

  3. Configure stunnel. This requires the creation of a certificate. See +the manual for +details. +

  4. Start the stunnel program if not already done and start it with:

    stunnel -d 443 -r your.host.name:80
    Substitute the port 80 if you started elogd on another port. This - causes stunnel to receive requests on the https port 443 and forward them to the elogd port. + causes stunnel to receive requests on the https port 443 and + forward them to the elogd port.

  5. Put the URL under which elogd runs into elogd.cfg:

Using Apache:
