.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 


The globus_openssl library is motivated by the desire to make OpenSSL thread safe\&. This is done by allocating a mutex pool and setting relevant callback functions in the module activation functions\&.
.PP
Any program that uses OpenSSL functions with Globus must include the \fBglobus_openssl\&.h\fP header\&.
.PP
Globus OpenSSL uses standard Globus module activation and deactivation\&. Before any OpenSSL functions are called, the following function must be called:
.PP
.PP
.nf
globus_module_activate(GLOBUS_OPENSSL_MODULE)
.fi
.PP
.PP
This function returns GLOBUS_SUCCESS if OpenSSL was successfully initialized, and you are therefore allowed to subsequently call OpenSSL functions\&. Otherwise, an error code is returned, and OpenSSL functions should not subsequently be called\&. This function may be called multiple times\&.
.PP
To deactivate the OpenSSL module , the following function must be called:
.PP
.PP
.nf
globus_module_deactivate(GLOBUS_OPENSSL_MODULE)
.fi
.PP
.PP
This function should be called once for each time OpenSSL was activated\&.
