OCaml-SSL - OCaml bindings for the libssl

Copyright (c) 2003-2015 the Savonet Team.

LGPL license GitHub release Install with Opam ! Build Status

Installation

ocaml-ssl can be installed via OPAM:

opam install ssl

Is this library thread-safe?

Yes it is if and only if the first function you call in ocaml-ssl is Ssl_threads.init (and the second one should be Ssl.init).

Creating a self-signed ssl certificate

To get started quickly you can create a self-signed ssl certificate using openssl.

  1. First, create a 1024-bit private key to use when creating your CA.: openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 1024
  2. Create a master certificate based on this key, to use when signing other certificates: openssl req -new -x509 -days 1001 -key privkey.pem -out cert.pem
