    Hi, OpenSSL is provided by the operating system, and there is no specific OpenSSL packages for EasyApache 4. EA4 will simply link to the appropriate SSL libraries found on the OS. I hope this helps!

    Okey, I need to use OpenSSL instead of NSS with cURL for a website to function properly. How do I switch between them?

    Can you create a phpinfo page on your websites document root and check, whether it have openssl ? It it show openssl, then please refer this documentation to know how to use it.

    I used the PHP-cli info-command and it shows this (I have also created a phpinfo-page which shows the same): php -i | grep "SSL Version" SSL Version => NSS/3.18 Basic ECC I need the SSL Version to be OpenSSL instead of NSS but I can't find any guides anywhere.

    I get nothing. (Isn't php-openssl included in php-common?)

    php-openssl won't come with php-common . You may refer ea4 documentation to add a custom php module, otherwise switch to ea3 and compile it easily.

    Okey, well I want to run ea4 because they will be adding PHP7 to ea4 and not ea3. I'll look at the documentation for adding a custom PHP-module. Do I have to do anything else than installing php-openssl? Will cURL automatically switch to using it rather than NSS?

    Hello :) Could you let us know how you uninstalled NSS and installed OpenSSL? Thank you.

    Having the same Issue here, When we switched to EasyApache4 to have Multi-PHP versions and PHP7 and much more, when php was rebuild curl was compiled with NSS instead of openSSL. Looking for options to recompile curl with openssl now.
