[openssl-users] Error compiling openssh with openssl

You will need to patch OpenSSH to not call the SHA256_XXX() APIs directly. To work with FIPS enabled, the EVP API must be used for all crypto operations.

Thanks for the reply. Our appliance is enabled in FIPS mode by default.
All these days, we were using openssh 6.2 with openssl 0.9.8.
Now we need to upgrade openssl to 1.0.2j.
But we would not like to upgrade openssh at this time.

So is there is any other way we can still make it work without disabling FIPS mode ?

Thanks,
Sandeep

Don't enable FIPS mode.
