[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3633] Enhancement request: CONF_modules_load_file(): please add a CONF_MFLAGS_LOAD_USER_FILE

[Steffen Nurpmeso via RT]

Hello,

while following Rich Salz's suggestion to make use of
CONF_modules_load_file() i stumbled personally over the
restriction that only a global openssl.cnf seems to be supported.
There is no support for automatic loading of a $HOME/.openssl.cnf
on top of the global version.

And whereas setting of $OPENSSL_CONF could be used and
communicated to users to achieve the desire, doing so actually
replaces inclusion of the global openssl.cnf, which likely not
results in the wanted effect!?!
While here, it doesn't seem possible to _forbid_ use of
$OPENSSL_CONF (from reading the manual)?
If that is true then i would ask for an additional
CONF_MFLAGS_NO_OPENSSL_CNF_ENV bit, too.
