fipsld or libcrypto.so

I am confused with what is required in builiding an application to use encryption functions from a FIPS 140-2 capable openSSL library. If I link the shared library libcrypto.so (0.9.8j) into my application and do a FIPS_mode_set(1) call, is that all that is necessary for set up in order to have m

Re:Setting Log level

I think there's not any log level within open ssl library, it puts error info into error queue rectrieved by user applications.

Re: fipsld or libcrypto.so

We have some application which performs dynamic opening of libcrypto.a (ie at run time , this application uses the libcrypto.a) . How this application will get into the fips mode . should the application has to link with libcrypto,a statically at compile time or there is another way to handle thi
