+# Environment variable renamed to DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE
+
+.NET previously supported a configuration-switch environment variable called `CLR_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE`, which allowed users to specify the preferred OpenSSL library version for apps running on Linux. In .NET 10, this environment variable has been renamed to `DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE` to align with the naming convention of other configuration switch environment variables in .NET.
+
+## Previous behavior
+
+The `CLR_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE` environment variable was used to specify the preferred OpenSSL version to be loaded in the application.
+
+## New behavior
+
+The `DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE` environment variable is used to specify the preferred OpenSSL version to be loaded in the application.
+
+## Version introduced
+
+.NET 10 Preview 1
+
+## Type of breaking change
+
+This change is a [behavioral change](../../categories.md#behavioral-change).
+
+## Reason for change
+
+This change ensures the environment variable is consistent with the naming convention used for all [.NET environment variables](../../../tools/dotnet-environment-variables.md).
+
+## Recommended action
+
+If you have a .NET 10 app that previously used the `CLR_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE` environment variable, use `DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE` instead.
