Q: Is it possible to have a static (.a) OpenSSL 3 library with FIPS support?
This was possible with OpenSSL 1.0.2 and the FIPS 2.0.x module (and
special linking in the Makefile). However, with SSL3, if I go
Configure no-module enable-fips
then it silently disables FIPS. Is there any way to do this?
You can have a static libcrypto (.a) with a dynamically loaded FIPS
module (i.e. using fips.so).
Configure no-shared enable-fips
You cannot have a statically linked FIPS module. It was a day 1 design
decision that we would no longer support this.
