Title: PolarSSL?
Post by: perindu on April 16, 2014, 03:29:04 PM

Hi anyone familiar with polarssl?
I wonder is it possible to use apache with polarssl?

The only webserver that i've try using polarssl is hiawatha ( FreeBSD )

If the api were a clone of openssl it would, but if FreeBSD isn't using it for their Apache distribution, I'd wager the answer is no.

uh my mistake it's look like apache only support mod_ssl and gnutls

it's look like polarssl is just library and you still need openssl to generate certificate.

anyway thanks 0.9.8 openssl :)

PolarSSL is just a library to be used in applications. OpenSSL is both a library (like PolarSSL) and a command line tool for cryptographic tasks. PolarSSL and OpenSSL are compatible when it comes to handling certificates and cryptographic messages. So, although Hiawatha uses the PolarSSL library, you can still use the OpenSSL command line to to create certificate and keys. PolarSSL has no such command line tool.
