1) Please configure your mail client (or its editor) to line-wrap text, that
paragraph came through as a single line until I formatted it.
2) Take a look at "SSLCryptoDevice" in the online ... actually, just as I'm
about to tell you the URL for the modssl docs, I notice myself that there's no
documentation for "SSLCryptoDevice" in the reference section. It should
certainly be mentioned somewhere inside modssl's README or INSTALL (or
something).
Basically SSLCryptoDevice is modssl's pass-through to the ENGINE code in
OpenSSL. This requires using an "-engine" version of 0.9.6 or a development
version of 0.9.7(-dev). You also need to build modssl with SSL_EXPERIMENTAL
support to enable this directive.
For now, try taking a look around - in particular look at the mail-archives of
this list (eg. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modssl) for prior
discussion of the subject (including people who've experienced problems and the
corresponding solutions). It's still marked "experimental" so the documentation
can be excused for skipping details - but if you're still no closer after
fishing around and playing with this, let us know where you got to and what the
problems you ran into looked like. Maybe we can help.
Cheers,
Geoff
