The mod_ssl included with Apache 2.0 has nothing to do with the one you may 
have been used to with 1.3.

I build Apache 2.0 with any OpenSSL 0.9.7. The module mod_ssl is statically 
built into Apache, whereas libssl and libcrypto are shared objects.

In order to use the cryptographic accelerator, I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point 
to the location where the manufacturer's OpenSSL libraries with support for the 
accelerator are located, before starting the server. That does the trick. Using 
a Sun tool to inspect kernel variables I can watch the accelerator counters 
increase with traffic.

I have no idea how to direct vanilla OpenSSL to use a particular built-in HW 
support. Maybe it does use the HW accelerator whenever it detects it is 
installed ? I do not know what Sun has done to OpenSSL to add support for their 
cards, but maybe they have just added support for their cards in addition to 
the HW already supported by openssl.org ?

Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache 2.0.54 and SSLaccelerator card

hi,
 I am also having any libraries(.so file in lib),I am using ubsec accelerator 
card ,I think openssl is already having support for this card by default, In 
apache it should come "SSLCryptoDevice builtin" in ssl.conf,so that we can 
modify "SSLCrypotoDevice ubsec"  to enable accelerator card, I am not getting 
that one.
  can you please specify your, configuration and building steps for Appache 2.0 
with sslaccelerator.
 Thanks for your reply
