Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the TLS protocol. It provides a simple C language application programming interface to access the secure communications protocols as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS#12, and other required structures which is shipped with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • (single-user mode)
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 running on Dell EMC PowerEdge 640 with Intel Cascade Lake Xeon Gold 6234 with PAA
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 running on Dell EMC PowerEdge 640 with Intel Cascade Lake Xeon Gold 6234 without PAA
