The best way to limit cipher strength

2010-08-19 Thread Diffenderfer, Randy
What is the "correct" way to limit cipher suite strength, as in get rid of "weak" ciphers? I am contemplating building an openssl version with no support for export ciphers, and no support for SSLv2 cipher suites. I tried the config args of "no-ssl2" and "no-export", and got half the intended

Verbosity Level Tweak?

Folks, Am trying to sort out "mysterious" TLS setup failures within sendmail. Are there any runtime symbols I can twiddle to cause the library to be more forthcoming about what it's doing? Have wandered through sendmail and he pretty much treats the openssl calls as a black box, with very little

Title: The *right* way to get "-g" in compiler options Folks, This should be easy! What is the *right* way to include the "-g" option in CFLAG when building openssl-0.9.8b? I have several undoubtedly *wrong* ways I can choose, but I'd rather take the high road here… Thanks, rnd

"Random" errors in openssl apps
