ODP: dynamic engine load

[Piotr Lobacz <piotr.lobacz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok i have found the problem:] The solution was to move the whole conditional if(Id == "pkcs11" {..} to the end of the function and now all is working properly.

Temat: dynamic engine load

 

Hi all,
I am trying to write a function which will load dynamic engine for pkcs11. What i intendt to do is not to use engine id pkcs11 but dynamic. The problem is that i get an error for ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string with MODULE_PATH parameter. My function currently looks like this:

        public void Initialize()
        {
            if (null == engine)
            {
                engine = SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_by_id("dynamic");
                if (engine.IsInvalid)
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException($"Unable to load dynamic engine");
                }

                if (!File.Exists(EnginePath))
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException($"Unable to find engine library path");
                }

                if (1 != SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(engine, "SO_PATH", EnginePath, 0))
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException("dynamic: setting so_path <= '{EnginePath}'");
                }

                if (1 != SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(engine, "ID", Id, 0))
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException("dynamic: setting engine id <= '{id}'");
                }

                if(Id == "pkcs11")
                {
                    if(!File.Exists(ModulePath))
                    {
                        throw new InvalidOperationException($"Unable to load pkcs11 module path");
                    }

                    if(1 != SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(engine, "MODULE_PATH", ModulePath, 0))
                    {
                        throw new InvalidOperationException("dynamic: setting module_path <= '{ModulePath}'");
                    }
                }

                if (1 != SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_ctrl_cmd(engine, "LIST_ADD", 1, IntPtr.Zero, null, 0))
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException( "dynamic: setting list_add <= 1");
                }

                if (1 != SafeNativeMethods.ENGINE_ctrl_cmd(engine, "LOAD", 1, IntPtr.Zero, null, 0))
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException( "dynamic: setting load <= 1");
                }

            }
        }

This function is writtien in C# but it shouldn't be rather a problem, cause it looks nearly the same as with C code.

According to some manuals and other stuff i should be able to load dynamic engine for pkcs11 module and i am because for example this command:

OpenSSL> engine dynamic -pre SO_PATH:/usr/lib/engines-1.1/libpkcs11.so -pre ID:pkcs11 -pre LIST_ADD:1 -pre LOAD -pre MODULE_PATH:/usr/lib/libckteec.so

works and produces log:

(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
[Success]: SO_PATH:/usr/lib/engines-1.1/libpkcs11.so
[Success]: ID:pkcs11
[Success]: LIST_ADD:1
[Success]: LOAD
[Success]: MODULE_PATH:/usr/lib/libckteec.so
Loaded: (pkcs11) pkcs11 engine

but as i said it before, when using my method i get an error on call for ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string method. The error code which i'm getting is 0.

I would be very apprecieate if someone could help me solve this issue.
