I'm just saying that there are options to allow this and it just doesn't seem
to work.
#define EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW 0x0008 /* Allow use of non FIPS digest
* in FIPS mode */
/* Allow non FIPS cipher in FIPS mode */
#define EVP_CIPH_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW 0x8000
Obviously the EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW flag handling works, since the
SSL/TLS processing uses this to allow MD5 during the handshake.

Personally, I think if they're in the same address space (or, at least,
namespace) this is dubious. But you probably have people advising you
(or available to advise you) who know a lot better than I do!
