In OpenSSL 0.9.7 the engine name was not dependant of the library name.
In OpenSSL, 0.9.8 this is not with the dynamic engine.
For example here is a load with the dynamic engine (i ernamed the lib in
libnscrypto whereas the engine name is zencod).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] openssl-0.9.8x-nscrypto-dyn]$

What about the name of the library is it specified using the SO_PATH control
command?
THanks,

Hi,
OpenSSL has a specific path for dynamic ENGINE libraries.
If you use the --prefix="/path_to_openssl" option when building openssl, then
- the openssl libraries are in /path_to_ossl/lib
- the openssl ENGINE libraries are in /path_to_ossl/lib/engines
So it's easy to know the path. ;)
After that the dynamic engine library find the specific hardware library (if
any, not using direct driver calls) according to your environement variable
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH on linux for example).
If you are using another engines not included in openssl engines libraries you
could load it with the "dynamic" engine spefying the library just as it is
exlains in the openssl engine -h online help.
Have a look at the man ssl/man/man5/config.5 for more informations.
I think you could also find a thread on this in openssl user mailing list
archive.
Hope it could help.
regards,
Fred

How does it know the location of the library at runtime? Do I need to bundle
the it engine library?
Thanks,

You don't. It's loaded by libcrypto in run-time.
