6.5.3. Configuring AOCL-Cryptography Provider With OpenSSL - 5.2 English - 57404

Applications utilizing OpenSSL are capable of leveraging AOCL-Cryptography by configuring the provider interface. The AOCL-Cryptography provider for OpenSSL APIs is provided through the libopenssl-compat.so library.

• Update the openssl.conf file installed in the OpenSSL binaries path.

• Alternatively, you may duplicate the openssl.conf file and modify it.

• Add the AOCL-Cryptography provider section.

  

• Set the OPENSSL_CONF path to load the providers.

  $ export OPENSSL_CONF=/path/to/openssl.cnf
  

• Verify Setup:

  • Run openssl list –providers to get the list of providers.

  • Upon successful provider initialization, the library name with the version will be displayed: AOCL-Crypto <AOCL version> Build <Build id>
