I think (*think*), you can buy the RSA license only (as a product - CryptoJ -
$305), and use OpenSSL+mod_ssl....
I didn't have much luck with Stronghold, just because it doesn't come with all
the source and configuration options you would get with openSsl+mod_ssl. Also, I
was having 1% fail connections on my app. thru ssl. With the new combination I
didn't get any....
