Note: this is (mostly?) a -users question not -dev where you also posted. > How do we configure debug level / log level in openssl ? > is there any way by setting which i can get more information in the logs ? The openssl library itself does not normally log anything. It has API calls to return error info that an application can and usually should log, and optional callbacks an application may use to get some additional information. How to get an application to do this more, differently, or at all depends on that application. In general you will need to look at documentation for or talk to experts on that application, although if it is a commonly used one and you identify it, someone here might happen to know about it. There are a few debug options that enable bits of output here and there that some developer found useful. If you are debugging a problem in a particular area of the code you will already see them; if not, the chance that they will be useful for some problem you have is negligible. Some openssl utilities like s_client and s_server have options to display various information as they run. See the man page(s) or use openssl <command> -? to get a brief description of the options. In particular if you are having trouble connecting to a given server or from a given client, using s_client or s_server respectively on the other end can tell you about what is happening (or going wrong) even if your real application(s) won't. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
