[openssl-users] FIPS mode entropy callback for rsa key

Hello, 

I currently have a FIPS module where I'm trying to add entropy to RSA key
generation pair.  I've overwritten the callbacks within my application but
I'm not seeing them being executed when I generate an RSA key. 

When I call RSA_generate_key_ex shouldn't my entropy callback function be
invoked that I set in FIPS_drbg_set_callbacks? 

The only way I can get the callback to be invoked is if I call
FIPS_drbg_instantiate. 

Can someone please explain how RSA_generate_key_ex can use my specific
get_entropy callback? 

Thanks!
