OpenSSL dynamic engine loading shows error

Hello,

I have a simple rsa engine code (from engines/e_dasync.c). My code
compiles. Command "*$openssl engine -t -c*" shows the following,


 openssl engine -t -c

(rdrand) Intel RDRAND engine

 [RAND]

     [ available ]

(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

     [ unavailable ]

(dasync) Dummy Async engine support

 [RSA]

     [ available ]


I also modify *openssl.cnf* configuration as following to load this engine,


openssl_conf = openssl_def


[openssl_def]

engines = engine_section


[engine_section]

rsa-engine-new = rsa_section


[rsa_section]

engine_id = rsa-engine-new


Then when I run the command "$*openssl engine*", I get the following error,

$openssl engine

(rdrand) Intel RDRAND engine

(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

(dasync) Dummy Async engine support

139633213376256:error:260AB089:engine

Any help why is this happening? How can I fix this?

My goal is to use my OpenSSL engine with Apache for mod_ssl. Do I have to
compile my engine with the OpenSSL source code to do that?


Here is the complete source code of my sample engine,

        ) {

        return 0;

    }

    return 1;

}


static int bind_helper(ENGINE *e, const char *id){

    if (!bind_dasync(e)){

printf("2_Error: Inside Bind helper\n");

        return 0;

}

    return 1;
