#### Description Kamailio TLS mod_init is creating one SSL_CTX, per process, some of the fonctions are taking between 1-3 seconds to execute, this is slowing down the startup sequence greatly. ``` SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list // list sent to the client SSL_load_client_CA_file SSL_CTX_get_client_CA_list ```
In fact it is safe to share the SSL_CTX since it is only used to store settings that will be used to internalize new structure, see the documentation reference : ``` tls: faster startup using shared SSL_CTX
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man7/ssl.html SSL_CTX (SSL Context) This is the global context structure which is created by a server or client once per program life-time and which holds mainly default values for the SSL structures which are later created for the connections. ```
I load tested this with 1000 TLS connections. We could push the refactoring further, this simple modification as a huge impact since the functions are now called only once per SSL / SNI, not per process ...
