  11     <H3>What is ACE+SSL?</H3>
  12     <p>ACE plus SSL is an addition to the core classes which allow the use
  13       of the Secure Socket Layer with the ACE framework. The following
  14       are the core classes conditionally compiled in when you run
  15       <code>make ssl=1</code>:</p>
  16     <ul>
  17       <li>ACE_SSL contains the interface to the ssl library OpenSSL.
  18       <li><code>ACE_SSL_SOCK_Stream</code> uses an interface and
  19         behavior nearly identical to <code>ACE_SOCK_Stream</code>,
  20         only with the additional ssl layer functionality.
  21       <li><code>ACE_SSL_SOCK_Acceptor</code>/<code>Connector</code>
  22         are again similar to their <code>ACE_SOCK</code> counterparts.
  23     </ul>
  24
  25     <p>The SSL/TLS library we use is OpenSSL which is available at
  26       <A HREF="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</A>.
  27       This library must be installed in order to use ACE+SSL.  We
  28       cannot answer all of the questions you may have about OpenSSL,
  29       but hopefully through using the ACE+SSL interface your questions
  30       will be reduced.</p>
  31
  32     <H3>How do I get ACE+SSL?</H3>
  33     <p>Due to the relaxation of export restrictions we have gained
  34       permission to distribute ACE+SSL along with the normal ACE
  35       distribution. It can be found in $ACE_ROOT/ace/SSL. An SSL
  36       pluggable transport for can be found in
  37       $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/SSLIOP.
