Use this documentation with care! It describes
the heavily outdated version 5, which was actively
developed around 2010 and is considered dead by the
rsyslog team for many years now.
This documentation reflects the latest update of the
previously existing (now removed) v5-stable branch.
It describes the 5.10.2 version, which was never
released. As such, it contains some content that
does not apply to any released version.
To obtain the doc that properly matches your installed
v5 version, obtain the doc set from your distro. Each
version of rsyslog contained the version that exactly
matches it.
As general advise, it is strongly suggested to
upgrade to the current version supported by the rsyslog
project. The current version can always be found on
the right-hand side info box on the
rsyslog web site.
Note that there is no rsyslog community support available
for this heavily outdated version. If you need to stick
with it, please ask your distribution for support.
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 imtcp instead.
Note: This is a contributed module, which is not supported by the rsyslog team. We recommend to use RFC5425 TLS-protected syslog instead.

$InputGSSServerRun <port>Starts a GSSAPI server on selected port - note that this runs independently from the TCP server.
$InputGSSServerServiceName <name>The service name to use for the GSS server.
$InputGSSServerPermitPlainTCP on|offPermits the server to receive plain tcp syslog (without GSS) on the same port
$InputGSSServerMaxSessions <number>Sets the maximum number of sessions supported
This sets up a GSS server on port 1514 that also permits to receive plain tcp syslog messages (on the same port):
$ModLoad imgssapi # needs to be done just once
$InputGSSServerRun 1514
$InputGSSServerPermitPlainTCP on
