Hi Rainer,

the modified files are attached. The alternative code is marked by #if 
statement.
I had to try to do this modification because the project, I am 
interested in, needs
to verify client's authentication. I realize that the patch is something 
like a hack,
because the rsyslog's architecture doesn't provide this feature (adding 
client CN to
syslog message) and it is not proper solution, but for our needs it is 
enough.
BTW I use this templete:
template ILS_template,"%timegenerated% %fromhost-ip% %HOSTNAME% 
%syslogtag%%msg%\n";

I have done a similar code for adding client principal for imgssapi.

Thanks for help.

Regards,

Tomas
