Interesting. Have you tried building it against one of the other TLS implementations (e.g. gnutls, nss, yassl, etc?) http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/comparison.html Would you mind publishing your packaging details? I'd be willing to try to switch TLS implementations if that's a possiblity. i'd very much like to see this functionality be easily accessible in debian. Also: is it that mod_auth_openid requires linking with openssl directly? or is it that libopkele1 links to openssl, and therefore can't be used in a GPL'ed program? Or is it both? the fact that libaprutil1-dev depends on libssl-dev (via libpq-dev) makes it a bit hairy to even try to build a GPL'ed apache module. Nonetheless, there are many GPL'ed apache modules available, if you believe the licensing on this page: http://modules.apache.org/search Regards, --dkg
