Help with using a dynamic engine with SSL_CTX

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

 



I thought that's what the following does:

ENGINE_set_default(engine, ENGINE_METHOD_RAND).

I'm also trying to figure out in rand_lib.c and RAND_get_rand_method() what
causes default_RAND_meth to change.

Thanks,
   BW
