If I remember correctly there is a compile time flag for libssh2 to enable a 
strict fips mode.

I would guess this might break compatibility with some (probably older) ssh 
implementations that don't implement newer (optional) cyphers.

Subject: FIPS Compliance.

Hi,


I wanted to know whether libssh2 1.4.2/1.4.3 are compatible with FIPS compliant 
OpenSSL version openssl-1.0.0-20 ?


I compiled libssh2 1.4.3 with this particular version of openssl and i could 
see that my application linking to this libssh crashes.


In other cases, my application runs successfully if i compile libssh2 1.4.3 
with openssl-1.0.1e-16.


Could some one please shed light on this one?


Alternately please let me know whether i can configure libssh2 to use a 
particular set crypto algorithms supported by the openssl.


Thanking you on advance.
