Replace OpenSSL by polarSSL

I have a server which uses OpenSSL for its basic TLS/SSL services. I wanted to replace OpenSSL with PolarSSL in my server if possible. So I wanted to know if we have programs with PolarSSL support for these services (preferably my current programs) :

WebServer with SSL support (currently I use Apache)

SSH Client/Server (currently I use OpenSSH)

IPSec (currently I use IPSec-Tools)

if there isn't something like that , how can i replace OpenSSL by polarSSL in them ?

Solution

  • Webserver: I used to use Apache but am now a happy Hiawatha webserver user. Hiawatha switched to PolarSSL a while ago.

    Another big change is that OpenSSL has been replaced with PolarSSL. Unlike OpenSSL, PolarSSL is well documented and easy to learn. Hiawatha's SSL library is much cleaner and simpler due to PolarSSL. No more dirty callback stuff to make it work.
