IIRC, the "openssl" CLI is statically-linked so that will always work as long as you use the full path to the FIPS-capable openssl binary. Getting another program to load using the FIPS-capable library takes a bit of work. > Where is the FIPS-capable OpenSSL library on the disk? > >> [Rich] The .so files are mostly under the directory >> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ Isn't that where the Ubuntu-packages libraries are as well? What does this command show? $ dpkg -L libssl1.0.0 (This will still work if you have OpenSSL 1.0.1.) Where *exactly* are the FIPS-capable libraries you built? There should be several .so files produced by the build. What are they and where did you put them? > How do you launch httpd? > >> [Rich] Ubuntu uses upstart script to launch service like httpd.

Ultimately, this is going to involve you adjusting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the place where your FIPS-capable OpenSSL libraries are. But if you put them into the existing library search path, you may have broken both your original OpenSSL installation, plus the FIPS-capable libraries as well. It would be best to keep the FIPS-capable libraries somewhere out of the way where you won't confuse them with the package-installed ones. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAla7VSQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDqQACbBdzt3ek8ywxxUFgjhb8YXhf7 1gAAnRRHqsNIEuOmd6OFjewx3M7UWZsa =JqxL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
