<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I’m trying to dig through a problem where building the FIPS capable version of OpenSSL-1.0.1r is not generating the correct code.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have done the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Created the fips canister according to the instructions in the User Guide, and installed it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then in the openssl source, I use ./config fips no-ec2m shared --with-fipsdir=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0 --with-fipslibdir=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/lib/<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I always get a libcrypto.a that fails FIPS_mode_set as not supported.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I leave the shared parameter off, I get the desired FIPS support, but in non-PIC code. Since my need is to produce a .so of my own with the libcrypto.a statically linked into it that doesn’t work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Digging into this a little, I see the FIPS_mode_set() definition in crypto/o_fips.c is gated by finding a definition of OPENSSL_FIPS. I do see that in the generated opensslconf.h.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can’t quite see why the shared versus non-shared would create a problem. I didn’t have this trouble with the earlier version 1.0.1j of openssl, or at least I didn’t see it.. was PIC code still generated at that release for non-shared?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an aside, I did notice an anomaly in crypto/cryptlib.h near line 72:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:r_ansi">#include <openssl/crypto.h><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:r_ansi">#include <openssl/buffer.h><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:r_ansi">#include <openssl/bio.h><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:r_ansi">#include <openssl/err.h><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:r_ansi">#include <openssl/opensslconf.h><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, in crypto.h decisions are made based on the definition of OPENSSL_FIPS, which is not defined until opensslconf.h is read at line 76, so the behavior of crypto.h seems to be not as intended.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts, flames?<o:p></o:p></p>
