Apache HTTP Server 2.4 Limited OpenSSL Distribution
This binary installation of OpenSSL is a limited distribution of the files derived from the OpenSSL project:
LICENSE.txt (includes openssl LICENSE) OPENSSL-NEWS.txt OPENSSL-README.txt conf\openssl.cnf bin\libeay32.dll bin\ssleay32.dll bin\openssl.exe
These are the minimal libraries and tools required to use mod_ssl as distributed with Apache HTTP Server version 2.4. No library link files, headers or sources are distributed with this binary distribution. Please refer to the http://www.openssl.org/ site for complete source or binary distributions.
These OpenSSL binaries were built for distribution from the U.S. without support for the patented encryption methods IDEA, MDC-2 or RC5.
The Apache HTTP Project only supports the binary distribution of these files and development of the mod_ssl module. We cannot provide support assistance for using or configuring the OpenSSL package or these modules. Please refer all installation and configuration questions to the appropriate forum, such as the user supported lists, http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html the Apache HTTP Server user's list or http://www.openssl.org/support/ the OpenSSL support page.

DESCRIPTION
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols (including SSLv3) as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptographic library.
OpenSSL is descended from the SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license), which means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes as long as you fulfill the conditions of both licenses.
OVERVIEW
The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
libssl (with platform specific naming): Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
libcrypto (with platform specific naming): Provides general cryptographic and X.509 support needed by SSL/TLS but not logically part of it.
openssl: A command line tool that can be used for: Creation of key parameters Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs Calculation of message digests Encryption and decryption SSL/TLS client and server tests Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail And more...
INSTALLATION
See the appropriate file: INSTALL Linux, Unix, Windows, OpenVMS, ... NOTES.* INSTALL addendums for different platforms
SUPPORT
See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the openssl-users email list (see https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for further details).
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps first:
- Download the latest version from the repository
to see if the problem has already been addressed
- Configure with no-asm
- Remove compiler optimization flags
If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information and create an issue on GitHub:
- OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
- Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm --dump'
- OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
- Compiler Details (name, version)
- Application Details (name, version)
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. Use the openssl-users email list for this type of query.
