Description Michael E Brown 2001-08-01 21:10:11 UTC 
Description of Enhancement:
For support of the Broadcom 5280 SSL offload card, there should be an 
option in Apacheconf to set the SSL Engine used by OpenSSL to enable use 
of the card. 

-- Email from Nalin Dahyabhai:

The documentation for the OpenSSL engine code states that no hardware
engines are used unless specifically requested by the calling
application.
 
To do so with mod_ssl, add "SSLCryptoDevice ubsec" on a line within the
<IfDefine HAVE_SSL> section of httpd.conf, outside of any virtual host
declarations (in beta 3, this would be around line 1200 in the default
httpd.conf file).
Comment 1 Michael E Brown 2001-08-14 04:41:06 UTC 
Per Mark Cox, this will be taken care of by adding a default crypto engine 
setting to OpenSSL, so no changes need to happen to apacheconf at this time.
