Apache, openssl and SSL Accelerator H/W

[Denver Osborn]

Help!! This problem is driving my insane. :)

I'm setting up some SSL Accelerator cards on one of our L2000's. Vendor is AEP and the documentation is poor/outdated. I can get openssl 0.9.7 to use the SSL Hardware, but can't figure out what to do with apache's config files.

Does anyone know what I have to do to apache or mod_ssl to let it know that there is a crypto device that it should be using?

Currently I've tested using "openssl speed rsa1024 -engine aep". Just need to figure out the apache portion now but not sure how to tell it to use an engine.

Thanks!

Greetings to you Denver,

I was wondering if there was anything on http:www.openssl.org that might help.

That site seems kind of lame, but there are a few docs in this search that might help.

Thanks Steven,

Nothing usefull yet. I've been all over the web looking, openssl.org and modssl.org didn't have an answer.

solved our problem and posting info as it might help anyone else avoid the headache...

apache 2.0 httpd bin had to be recompiled using CPPFLAG="-DSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_ENGINE". Once this was done httpd recognized SSLCryptoDevice as a valid directive and was able to use the crypto hardware.

I'm still having a problem resolving a similar issue.

I don't want to clutter this area with my newbie questions, so could you drop some knowledge on my forum, denver?
