Apache with OpenSSL 3 compiled for FIPS - SSLFIPS invalid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I’m trying to build httpd 2.4.54 against OpenSSL 3.0.5 compiled for FIPS. I’ve followed the OpenSSL and httpd build docs, but when I turn on the SSLFIPS directive in my config, I still get an error message saying “SSLFIPS invalid, rebuild httpd and openssl compiled for FIPS”. A Google search turns up plenty of results for compiling older OpenSSL versions for FIPS, but nothing for OpenSSL 3 and the new FIPS module.

 

I’ve put together a Docker container with my attempt at a FIPS build: https://github.com/SmithJosh/httpd-openssl3-fips/blob/main/Dockerfile

 

A couple notes:

 

1. I ran “./Configure enable-fips” before building OpenSSL and added the following to /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf after building to enable FIPS mode

 

```

config_diagnostics = 1

openssl_conf = openssl_init

 

.include /usr/local/ssl/fipsmodule.cnf

 

[openssl_init]

providers = provider_sect

 

[provider_sect]

fips = fips_sect

base = base_sect

 

[base_sect]

activate = 1

```

 

2. Running “openssl md5 <<< ‘12345’” returns the following error which I believe indicates I’ve enabled FIPS mode correctly

 

```

# openssl md5 <<< "12345"

Error setting digest

80327F263C7F0000:error:0308010C:digital envelope routines:inner_evp_generic_fetch:unsupported:crypto/evp/evp_fetch.c:349:Global default library context, Algorithm (MD5 : 102), Properties ()

80327F263C7F0000:error:03000086:digital envelope routines:evp_md_init_internal:initialization error:crypto/evp/digest.c:252:

```

 

With that in mind, I’m confused why Apache still complains about not being compiled for FIPS. What am I missing?

 

Thanks,

Josh
