Using RAND_status()

[Jayme Mikko Ancla <jaymemikko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Openssl-Users,

I would like to know if my use of RAND_status() like below is correct:

int MyInitFunc(void) {

  char* pathOfProviders;
  pathOfProviders = getenv("PATH_OF_PROVIDERS");
  DbgMsg("MyInitFunc() START\n");
  OSSL_PROVIDER_set_default_search_path (NULL, pathOfProviders);
  provider_legacy = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "legacy");
  if (NULL == provider_legacy) {
     DbgMsg("MyInitFunc() provider_legacy is NULL\n");
  }
  if (RAND_status() != 1) {
    RAND_seed(rnd_seed, sizeof rnd_seed);
  }

  DbgMsg("MyInitFunc() END\n");
  return CRY_OK;
}

I called RAND_status immediately after OSSL_PROVIDER_load.

Is there anything I have to do before calling RAND_status()?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Jayme
