Unpack the archive, configure, compile and install it:. If you want to use [cURL](http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) instead of our native URI-functions for downloading CRLs, use ./configure --with-curl. However, up to now cURL is not able to handle binary LDAP replies and thus CRL download might not work for all LDAP URIs. Next, you have to create the needed openssl-hash-links.
