are you sure the Cisco is supporting TLS, not just doing plaintext over TCP?

If the client has a cert to offer, we still want to gather the data from it, even if we don't require validation.

Subject: Re: [rsyslog] TLS Anon Patch

Aparently I can't use my own email client...


I am using Rsyslog 8.18.0 and have several Cisco ASAs sending logs via TCP TLS.
One of the recent patches to the Cisco IOS tends to cause the syslog connection 
to break when the ASA receives a Client Certificate Request as part of the TLS 
handshake.

I am running rsyslog with the StreamDriver.AuthMode="anon" config. As such I do not 
require the client certificate for anything. I have attached a patch that I hope will be accepted 
into the mainline that disables the client certificate request when in TLS "anon" mode.

I don't see any side effects to this change, but my testing has been limited to 
"Works for Me" as I don't have a very good testbench.

Thanks,
Nathaniel
