Hi there, I have a small problem with designing services which use openssl libraries. When I design server and client programs as exe files and install them on Win2000 platform, the system operates as it is expected. Then I have put both programs to operate as Win2000 services. What has happened is that when I put local host in the client as "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" the system will not simply work at all. When I put its real IP address or DNS name such as mytestingcomputer, the client is able to locate sever (operates as Windows2000 service). Then I have stripped the programs of ssl, and redesign it with tcp, the system operates OK. After that, I have debuged my program and locate BIO_set_conn_hostname. The input value to this instruction was ok. Then I have redesigned the program and used different openssl instructions based on socket implementation, where I have been able to follow the local address of the host implementation. The problem is that inside openssl the localhost and 127.0.0.1 are not simply recognised at all, and they are interpreted as "unknown address".
I have experimented with Service and its property (logon) under setting, but it still failed to resolve the local host address. I believe that there is some interaction between Win2000 service and openssl implementation, but I do not know where to look inside the code to find bug. I am asking developers whether they could point me to the places (either web sites or books) or even piece of openssl code to investigate the problem little bit further. I appreciate any help or suggestion. Thanks in advance.
