Marek/Chong,
Thanks for your reply. As Marek poited out the issue was in the way mutithreading was achieved in server. The locking of SSL context objects 'ctx' was not done properly. The issue is solved now. Chong , I tried using sslv23_server_method but it didn't help . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marek Marcola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <openssl-users@openssl.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 4:33 AM Subject: Re: Error accepting connections > Hello, > > I have a SSL Server application ..
