I would like to specify an "effective time" for openssl to use when verifying S/MIME messages, so that i can override my system clock when checking the validity period.
I tried adding an (eww) global variable called effective_time which is -1 by default and can be set with a command line option. All the parts of OpenSSL that get the current time will check this variable, and if it's not -1, will use its value in place of time(NULL) However, i've had trouble putting a variable into global scope because of the modular nature of OpenSSL. Suggestions on The Right Way to do this? Ideally i'd like to not use a global variable. -- Mike Schiraldi VeriSign Applied Research
