Hello,
I noticed that it have support for the Intel AES-NI, but it seems that it acts like if it does not activate it when I specifically activates it in Litespeed for it. The processor is Xeon 5620, and it have it enabled as shown in the cpuinfo as this:

[root@colorful ~]# openssl engine
(aesni) Intel AES-NI engine
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
[root@colorful ~]#
However, when I specficially enable it in the Litespeed for Intel AESNI support, it complains it does not detect or support it with this message in the warning logs:
2012-04-06 12:05:49.896 WARN [config:server:tuning] Failed to initialize SSL Accelerator Device: aesni, SSL hardware acceleration is disabled!
So, what up with this? Am I missing something about how to properly get full support of the Intel AES-NI in Litespeed?
