Hi, Currently we here are trying to develop a product using the ACE SSL library, and have problems with our executable, which outputs the following error message : 1:error:00000000140A90A1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_new:library has no ciphers:ssl_lib.c:1173: set_mode ERROR (18549|1) ACE_SSL_SOCK_Stream - cannot allocate new SSL structure : No such file or directory I think its something to do with the ssl_create_cipher_list, but I haven't got to the bottom of this problem yet. Currently what we do is create an ACE context with ACE_SSL_context() (This function,among other things, invokes the "SSL_library_init()" function, which should add the ciphers), and then call the ACE_SSL_Context method set_mode(), which in turn invokes the SSL_CTX_new() functions, which is where we get our error. Now to complicate matters, this error only appears when we execute our application with the Rational Purify appliation. If we just run our app without purify, then the error does not appear........ If anyone out there can shed any light on how I can resolve this problem, I would very much like to hear your ideas on this problem.......
