[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4675] Bug: Parsing Configuration that contains System Variables

[Georg Höllrigl via RT]

Hello,

I found a working configuration now.
I could not find that when searching fort he problem.

Nevertheless, it still feels somehow not working as expected.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction and sorry for bothering you.

Georg

This is expected and documented behaviour: see config manual page for details.

If you want a non existent environment variable to have a default value you can use the default section to define it. Again see config manual page and examples for details.
