The background to this is the observance of the NSA NIAP requirements when 
using secure remote syslogging, namely:

FIA_X509_EXT.1.1 The unit shall validate certificates in
accordance with the following rules:

RFC 5280 certificate validation and certificate path validation (eg. X.509)

The unit shall validate the extendedKeyUsage field according to
the following rules:

[...]

* Server certificates presented for TLS shall have the Server
Authentication purpose (id-kp 1 with OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1) in
the extendedKeyUsage field.

This prevents the use of any certificate.
