Anyone know the process to change the .pem file from the one shipped with Winsyslog and eventlogger?

Hi,

yes you can create your own PEM.
You are the first asking for this btw

But you will need the binaries of OpenSSL. You can either download the OpenSSL Source and compile it yourself, or I can provide you a compiled openssl.exe for this task.

Anyway, to create your own PEM create a batch file and fill it with this content:

Code: Select all

rem Create Private key
openssl.exe genrsa -out mykey.pem 2048
rem Create Server cert
openssl.exe req -new -x509 -key mykey.pem -out myca.pem -days 3650 -config openssl.cnf


Openssl.cnf can be the default OpenSSL configfile.
This will create two files which you simply need to combine using a texteditor, and finally name it like the service: winsyslg.pem
