+### Configure OpenSSL appname
+
+Node.js can use an OpenSSL configuration file by specifying the environment
+variable `OPENSSL_CONF`, or using the command line option `--openssl-conf`, and
+if none of those are specified will default to reading the default OpenSSL
+configuration file `openssl.cnf`. Node.js will only read a section that is by
+default named `nodejs_conf`, but this name can be overridden using the following
+configure option:
+
+```console
+$ ./configure --openssl-conf-name=<some_conf_name>
+```
