Thanks!

I'll look into the latest OpenSSL.

Best,
Mike

Yes. You can get OpenSSL 1.0.2g (or anything newer at the time of retrieval 
from openssl.org). You'd have to build it yourself.

You are not confused.

In general "no" and also not because of this problem.

If you have a need for the APR connector you can use it.

Apache as in "Apache web server" doesn't have anything to do with the topic 
here. You can create the tcnative libs based on your own compilation of OpenSSL 
(and if you like also the APR libs) without influencing which OpenSSL or APR 
version your Linux and your Apache web server coming from this Linux distro 
uses. If RedHat doesn't provide you OpenSSL 1.0.2 and you'd like to use 
up-to-date Tomcat (recommended) and you have a need for tcnative, then yes, 
you'd need to do your own OpenSSL compilation.

Regards,

Rainer
