Dr. Henson, I'm trying to understand the status of a thread (noted at the bottom of this e-mail) in which you recommend a patch to fix an issue that various people (including myself) incur with using openssl dgst with an external engine. It seems that the patch has been applied to certain branches, but not the mainline (from what I see). I've found the revision 5a9e3f05ff which contains the patch.
Is the fix planned for a later (or recent) version? Are there reasons it's not applied across the board? Best Regards, Russell Leake Supporting background material: Here is the error I receive: $ openssl dgst -engine abraxas -keyform engine -sign engine_specific_text -sha256 -out /tmp/tmp.6S9PQZT3hk engine "abraxas" set. Error setting context 3072456392:error:260C0065:engine routines:ENGINE_get_pkey_meth:unimplemented public key method:tb_pkmeth.c:127: 3072456392:error:0609D09C:digital envelope routines:INT_CTX_NEW:unsupported algorithm:pmeth_lib.c:164: Here is your recommended fix: "Hmm.... that's a bug. In apps/dgst.c there are calls to EVP_DigestVerifyInit() and EVP_DigestSignInit(). Try changing the "e" parameter to NULL in both cases." https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.openssl.users/vnESwIu9tR0
