Using windows I have compiled an tested the fips 2.0 module and it is good. I then compile and build the fips compatible openssl-1.0.1 with the fips option and run the built in tests. Every thing is fine. I then add the openssl-1.0.1\out32dll into my system path.
with 7zip i extract the compressed files using visual studio command prompt I cd to the openssl-fips-2.0 folder set fipsdir=c:\fips_dir set tmp=c:\tmp_dir ms\do_fips out32dll\fips_test_suite (passes) then cd to openssl-1.0.1 beta2 folder ms\do_nasm nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak test (passes) The problem here is when I run my application I make a reference to the libeay32.dll and call FIPS_mode_set(1) and FIPS_mode_set(2) but both return 0. No matter what I seem to do I cannot get a call to FIPS_mode() to return 1. If I call FIPS_mode_set(0) it returns 1. I have also tried calling OPENSSL_init() and RAND_init_fips() with no luck. I have read the user guide with no luck: http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide.pdf Any advise?
