+## Notes on Lightweight Platform Support Library (PSL) configuration
+
+The lightweight participant profiles now include explicit PSL configuration
+properties for OpenSSL Cryptographic Library:

+- OpenSSL profile (`lightweight_library::peer`):
+  - `com.rti.serv.secure.psl_library=psl_openssl3`
+  - `com.rti.serv.secure.psl_get_interface=PSL_OSSL_get_interface`
+  - `com.rti.serv.secure.psl_get_configuration=PSL_OSSL_get_default_configuration`
+
+This mirrors the newer lightweight security initialization model where PSL abstracts
+cryptography library and enables easy switch between different cryptographic libraries
+with properties.

+### Application does not start because of linking errors
+
+If your application does not start because of errors related to library linking
+or missing symbols, make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains `lib` directory within
+Connext installation. Check if the `lib` directory contains PSL library matching
+the value of `psl_library` property and make sure `psl_get_interface` and
+`psl_get_configuration` match the functions provided by this library.
