<h1>GSSAPI Syslog Input Module</h1>
<p><b>Module Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; imgssapi</b></p>
<p><b>Author: </b>varmojfekoj</p>
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>Provides the ability to receive syslog messages from the
network protected via Kerberos 5 encryption and authentication. This
module also accept plain tcp syslog messages on the same port if configured to do so. If you need just plain tcp, use <a href="imtcp.html">imtcp</a> instead.</p>
<p>There is also an <a href="gssapi.html">overview of gssapi support in rsyslog</a> available. We recommend reading
it before digging into the configuration parameters.</p>
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>InputGSSServerRun &lt;port&gt;<br>
Starts a GSSAPI server on selected port - note that this runs
independently from the TCP server.</li>
<li>InputGSSServerServiceName &lt;name&gt;<br>
The service name to use for the GSS server.</li>
<li>$InputGSSServerPermitPlainTCP on|<span style="font-weight: bold;">off</span><br>
Permits the server to receive plain tcp syslog (without GSS) on the
same port</li>
<li>$InputGSSServerMaxSessions &lt;number&gt;<br>
Sets the maximum number of sessions supported</li>
</ul>
<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
<ul>
<li>module always binds to all interfaces</li>
<li>only a single listener can be bound</li>

</ul>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p>This sets up a GSS server on port 1514 that also permits to
receive plain tcp syslog messages (on the same port):<br>
