<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><option>no-rc5 no-idea</option>: When added to the
<command>./config</command> command, this will eliminate the building
of those encryption methods. Patent licenses may be needed for you to
utilize either of those methods in your projects.</para>
<para><option>enable-tlsext</option>: When added to the
<command>./config</command> command, this switch will enable TLS
Extensions. Currently this is only RFC 3546 and 4507bis for Server Name
Indication. This allows the use of multiple SSL certificates with multiple
virtual hosts in Apache, while using only one IP address and one port for
all virtual hosts.</para>
<para><command>make MANDIR=/usr/share/man; make MANDIR=/usr/share/man
install</command>: These commands install
<application>OpenSSL</application> with the man pages in
<filename class='directory'>/usr/share/man</filename> instead of
<filename class='directory'>/etc/ssl/man</filename>.</para>
<para><command>cp -v -r certs /etc/ssl</command>: The certificates must
be copied manually as the default installation skips this step.</para>

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>Most people who just want to use <application>OpenSSL</application>
for providing functions to other programs such as
<application>OpenSSH</application> and web browsers won't need to worry
about configuring <application>OpenSSL</application>. Configuring
<application>OpenSSL</application> is an advanced topic and so those
who do would normally be expected to either know how to do it or to be
able to find out how to do it.</para>
