Requirement summary

This enhancement should cover the work required to remove strict dependancy of AC on openSSL library.
Security in the AC, implemented in the 195644, requires openSSL library to be installed. AC can't be launched if the library is absent. This requirement seems to be redundant if an user doesn't need this feature (especially using IAC).
Lazy dynamic loading of ssl library could resolve this problem.

User interactions

Code interfaces

Should not change API.

Design summary

Implementation of this enhancement implies dynamic loading of the ssl library, only if the security is enabled in SocketTL transport layer. TPTP already uses dynamic loading of the "CommonBaseEvent" library. It seems that implementation of the enhancement could be the same.

P.S.: The enhancement is already implemented, tested and available as the patch in bugzilla.
