Some releases of the product install multiple versions of the OpenSSL library
file (TLS/SSL support file); however, the installer and branding tool only brand the
default library file installed at the top level of the \drivers directory, xxopenssl.dll. If you want to use a different version of
the library with your branded drivers, remove this file from the \drivers subdirectory after branding. Then, move the
OpenSSL library file you want to use to that directory, and rename it using the name of
the removed file. For example, if you branded the product with the prefix gf
, rename the library file ddopenssl.dll to gfopenssl.dll.
Note: The OpenSSL library file must be stored in the install_dir\drivers subdirectory unless a different
location is specified using the CryptoLibName and SSLLibName connection options.
