Well it depends what you mean exactly. The first question is: have you set up the thread locking callbacks? https://www.openssl.org/docs/faq.html#PROG1 As long as you have done the above then SSL_accept() is thread safe in as much as it can be called concurrently with different SSL objects passed as a parameter. It is never safe to call SSL_accept() concurrently with the *same* SSL object passed as a parameter. If you want to call SSL_accept() from multiple threads with the same SSL object then you would have to arrange your own locking.
