[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-2487) SSL should not require external security library

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2487?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16797500#comment-16797500 ] 

Charlie Black commented on GEODE-2487:
--------------------------------------

This story is still valid - libcryptoImpl.so or cryptoImpl.dll could be in the pivotal-gemfire library since cryptoImpl is just a wrapper to load the SSL libraries.

> Geode Native requires that cryptoImpl library be compiled by the end user to support SSL. The rational for this has been lost but was likely to avoid either export control, which it does not, or to make dynamic loading of OpenSSL easier, which I am not sure it does.
> Refactor SSL sockets to initialize and use OpenSSL (via ACE_SSL) directly and remove it from cryptoImpl library. If there is no other purpose for cryptoImpl library then purge it.
