>From the User Guide of OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v2.0, page 54, it
mentioned the FIPS mode can be initialized indirectly by indirect call vial
OPENSSL_config() API.
My question is, from where should we call this API?
If we use Apache and Python as examples, does that mean both of them need
to invoke OPENSSL_Config() in order to enable the FIPS mode?
And if that's the case, how do we make them invoke OPENSSL_Config() API?
Also regarding the openssl.cfg changes mentioned in the User Guide, what do
I need to replace the XXXX string?
Below are the config changes I made, does it look right to you?
Thanks for the helps and suggestions in advanced.
