Lynn,
     Thanx for your reply - I don't know if Oracle iAS (which uses
Apache/MOD_SSL/OpenSSL) uses the engine version, unfortunately as it is a
packaged product recompilation is not possible, I'll bung a call into
Oracle.  How do I identify if the engine version is in use? (I'll have a
look at the docs)
     How much benifit was the card?
Mikey

Fairly easy.  For those hardware accelerators which are supported by the
OpenSSL engine version, all you need to do is to compile modSSL with the
engine version of OpenSSL (present as a separate version of OpenSSL from
OpenSSL 0.9.6 on), and include a line in httpd.conf setting SSLCryptoDevice
to the engine you wish to use.

I've set this up on Solaris, HP UX, AIX, Linux, and FreeBSD.

Subject: SSL Hardware acceleration questions . . .



Dear all,
     Has anyone had any experience with hardware acceleration?
specifically:

How easy is it to get MOD_SSL to be configured with hardware SSL cards (any
cards to avoid/recommend).
We have Sun hardware (so Sun/Sonicwall ?)

Does anything need to be recompiled? which versions of OpenSSL are
supported etc.
Any specific experiences with iAS would be excellent.

What are the performance advantages?
Anything tio watch out for?

TIA
Mikey
