It's about building with -DOPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL=2, and something like the patch I've used before to set the default TLS version, instead of having both in openssl.cfg. Setting it in the config file should override the build time defaults. Building with that set will cause testsuite errors. Some of those are because SHA1 is being used. In the master branch, things are changing so that SHA1 isn't allowed at security level 1 anymore. For the next release, if we're not shipping 3.0, I would like to at least change that. Kurt
