Establishing connection errors

Sorry, accidentally skipped that part, which was sort of important. I think I can use the same fix because the part I skipped is the problem:

X509          *cert;
cert = PEM_read_X509(fp, NULL, 0, NULL);
status = X509_STORE_add_cert(trusted_store,cert);

So, I need to this sequence:

X509 *empty_X509;
empty_X509 = X509_new_ex(non_fips_libctx, NULL);
mycert = PEM_read_X509(fp, &empty_X509, 0, NULL);

To set things up correct, with the appropriate library context.

My apologies, thanks for pointing out my small brain.

This could lead to some tricky changes as currently I set up the trust store before I know if the user wants FIPS or not. I may just set up two stores, or I need to change the order of how I do things.

Thanks,

Jason

How do you read the certs? They need to be loaded with the appropriate
libctx.

Or you can use for example X509_STORE_load_file_ex() function to load a
file directly with an libctx.
