Hi,
Is there a way in which I get have all OpenSSL error messages being
printed in the syslog instead of console? Can I set some option or
something else in OpenSSL for that?
I am using OpenSSL 1.0.1c with fips 2.0.2.
If you are using the OpenSSL Libraries in your own code, you have
full control over the output of error messages, since your code will
get them as strings through various APIs.
If you are using the openssl command line tool, just pipe its stderr
(and stdout for some commands) to the logger(1) program.
For example:
$ ( ( openssl whatever -whatever 1>&3 ) 2>&1 |
logger -p local4.err ) 3>&1
This redirects openssl stdout to temporary handle 3, then redirects
openssl stderr to stdout and pipes it to logger. Finally the temporary
handle 3 is redirected back to stdout of the whole thing.
Another example:
$ openssl whatever -whatever 2>&1 | logger -p local4.info
This redirects both openssl stderr and stdout to stdout then pipes it
to logger which will pass it to syslog.
Enjoy
