If you are using code from cvs HEAD and your applications call OPENSSL_config(), then it is just a matter of setting up a suitable openssl.cnf file. A minimalistic file would look something like this: openssl_conf = openssl_init [openssl_init] engines = engine_section [engine_section] aesni = aesni_engine [aesni_engine] default_algorithms = ALL Note also that with the recent creation of the 1.0.1 branch, there will hopefully be a release version that includes the AES-NI support in the near future. However, the support hasn't been backported yet. -- Iain Morgan ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
