ADH + certs on same SSLCTX ??

2000-12-08 Thread Gregory Nicholls
Hiya, Quick one for those in the know. Can I use both verified certificates and anon-DH sessions with the same SSLCTX ???. I'm guessing that I have to check the cipher whilst in the callback function and give the green light if it's an anon-DH cipher. I'd appreciate someone either

must be NT's bloody runtime then. If I try to fopen a NULL filename it blows up. I changed s_server.c so that it only calls load_dh_param() if there's a real file. Guess what. Now it works .. . . Thanks, G. Lutz Jaenicke wrote: > On Wed, Nov 01, 2000 at 02:01:01PM -

I'm trying to get s_client and s_server working with ADH - again. I _know_ I've had it working before but I seem to have forgotten some crucial point. I'm using s_server -nocert -no_dhe -cipher ADH-RC4-MD5 s_client -cipher ADH-RC4-MD5 Of course it returns no shared cipher. Could some kind so

Hiya, What version of OS/390 are you talking about ??? I'm about to start a port of OpenSSL to OS/390 V2R8 that will run under MVS. If you want the Unix subsystem, it's already available (I think). G. Simone Ventola wrote: > Hello, > I'm looking for a standard and free cryptographi

Hiya, Can anyone point me towards any helpful info (apart from the standard docs) that would be a useful guide to porting OpenSSL ???. I'm going to attempt a port to OS/390 native (the MVS bit, not the Unix part). If anyone has any experience and could point me towards the major choke points

Hiya, I've read the past items on this list, looking for a good non-interactive source of entropy for the PRNG. Now I've a (possibly very) stupid question. The data I need to encrypt is your basic bit of user data going from system A to system B. Now given that the whole point of encrypting

I'm trying to work my way through the whole certificate business and I've a small question. How can I view/print/see the contents of a certificate request before I sign it??? I tried the X509 -text option but it failed unless the certificate was already signed. (said it expected a trusted cert).
