[openssl-users] Regarding FIPS capable openssl (I want to combine libcrypto.a and libssl.a)

[Sahil Gandhi]

Hi All,

I am now able to solve this problem, myself.
We need to do changes in fipsld script.
Change 'crypto' or 'libcrypto' to whatever name (u want to specify for the
lib) in fipsld utility script and that's it.

Thanks,
-Sahil Gandhi
