It has to be pre-loaded before starting Kamailio. + +In v1.1, libssl does not allow setting custom locking functions, using internally +pthread mutexes and rwlocks, but they are not initialized with process shared +option (PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED), which can result in blocking Kamailio worker +processes. + +## Installation ## + +By default, it is installed when the tls module is installed. + +It can be installed manually, in this folder execute: + +``` +make +make install +``` + +It is installed at the same place where Kamailio deploys the directory with +modules. + +For example, when installing from sources on a 64b system, the location is: + +``` +/usr/local/lib64/kamailio/openssl_mutex_shared/openssl_mutex_shared.so +``` + +For Debian packing, the location is like: + +``` +/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kamailio/openssl_mutex_shared/openssl_mutex_shared.so +``` + +## Usage ## + +Use LD_PRELOAD to tell the linker to preload this shared object before starting +Kamailio. + +Example, when Kamailio was installed from sources: + +``` +LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib64/kamailio/openssl_mutex_shared/openssl_mutex_shared.so; \ + /usr/local/sbin/kamailio -f /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg +``` + +If using systemd, add to service file: + +``` +Environment='LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib64/kamailio/openssl_mutex_shared/openssl_mutex_shared.so' +```
