Apache Portable Runtime and Tomcat?
The User Guide for the Apache Portable Runtime with Tomcat (
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html) states the following:
Windows binaries are provided for tcnative-1, which is a statically
compiled .dll which includes OpenSSL and APR. It can be downloaded from
here <http://tomcat.heanet.ie/native/> as 32bit or AMD x86-64 binaries.
In security conscious production environments, it is recommended to use
separate shared dlls for OpenSSL, APR, and libtcnative-1, and update
them as needed according to security bulletins.
It may be obvious, but does anyone have step-by-step instructions on
where/how to download/build these "shared dlls for OpenSSL, APR and
libtcnative-1" and configure Tomcat to use them?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
to make it work, you need all three of them. I never used it in Windows,
so I can only judge from the download and the docs page. The docs page
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/apr.html
says, that the precompiled binaries include openssl, apr and tcnative in
one combined DLL. The source download contains two slightly different
.dsp files, so I assume, one of them is for keeping the three DLLs
separate, one for producing a single combined DLL.
Regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for the quick response! A couple more questions: if we grab the
code for APR, OpenSSL and tcnative, and compile them (yes, we are on
Windows), what will we get? Several dll's? And if so, do we just replace
the tcnative-1.dll with these dll's or is there some other configuration
that is necessary?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
APR and OpenSSL are maintained by other projects (apr.apache.org resp.
www.openssl.org).
The tcnative source can be obtained from
http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/
The download contain a dsp file for Visual Studio (supposing you are
talking about WIN platform because you mentioned DLL), and a configure
script for Unix/Linux. The configure script of the most recent version
is 1.1.12 is broken (see mail on this list today), but the library code
is fine.

Rainer
