Research direction

Start by inspecting the configure entry point and how the connector currently detects and links mbedtls. Determine whether an OpenSSL alternative can be selected through a --with-openssl option, then verify the resulting configuration and build behavior. Done means the supported choice and its limitations are documented or implemented clearly.
