Hi. I'm running openssl CLI 1.0.1j (for example) on a bunch of different unix
platforms. On all of them, the default missing /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
causes a warning, but the CLI continues to initialize and opens the command
line. We've known about this behavior since first incorporating 1.0.1c years
ago); this is no big deal.
Except for AIX: on all our AIX machines of varying versions, the missing
/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf raises a permission error, and openssl CLI refuses
to run.
openssl version
1152921504606846944:error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission
denied:bss_file.c:169:fopen('/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf','rb')
1152921504606846944:error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system
lib:bss_file.c:174:
1152921504606846944:error:0E078002:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD:system
lib:conf_def.c:199:
None of the hosts we've visited have /usr/local/ssl, not to mention the actual
default file. In fact, on some, even non-AIX hosts, permissions would suggest
that the permission should be returned.
Should this be happening? Is AIX simply less forgiving, and returns a more
serious error. Or is the openssl CLI handling the missing file differently on
AIX?
Thanks for any enlightenment shareable.
Dave
