The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found

Question

Upon startup of Tomcat I am getting the following message in catalina.out -

 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener.lifecycleEvent The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found on the java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib:/usr/lib64:/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib]

My website comes up and functions fine so this is not any kind of critical issue that I know of.

I did some searching but could really not find out what it does and how to remedy it.

Any help as to why I get this and how to resolve it?

I am running Apache Tomcat/9.0.41

Here is a snippet of the connector part of my server.xml:

 <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               redirectPort="443" />
    <!-- A "Connector" using the shared thread pool-->
    <!--
    <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
               port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />
    -->
    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443
         This connector uses the NIO implementation that requires the JSSE
         style configuration. When using the APR/native implementation, the
         OpenSSL style configuration is required as described in the APR/native
         documentation -->
