<span style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt">I thought I should start a new thread since this question was buried in my "FIPS" thread and I dont' think it has anything to do with FIPS and OpenSSL providers. I'm hitting another problem that I think is related to
the migration to OpenSSL 3.0, as this code works with OpenSSL 1.1.1 (and 1.0.2 before it). When looking at the documentation pages for 1.1.1 vs 3.0, I'm not seeing any differences between the OpenSSL APIs I'm calling in the 2 different release levels. </span>

<div style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt">Aside: While I was waiting for an answer on this, I started working on removing some of the deprecated functions in my code, for example, PEM_read_DHparams(). I ended up finding the DECODER functions and plan on doing
something like:</div>
