Hi, I am Configuring om_ssl module for <Output tcpssl> for CE and successful in sending logs to logstash over SSL, however if I remove CertKeyFile I get an error "ERROR SSL error, SSL_ERROR_SSL: retval 0, sslv3 alert bad certificate". My question is why is private key desired here? Thanks, Sidd

Hello Sir,

During the handshake process, the private key and its public counterpart are used for authentication.
