Using Openssl-3.0.8 version and my application is built with 3.0.8 headers only.

Hello Team,

 

We are getting below error specifically in linux RHEL8 environment and the same is working perfect on windows.

 

error: ‘OSSL_PROVIDER’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘SSL_TXT_IDEA’?

  static OSSL_PROVIDER *legacy;

         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

         SSL_TXT_IDEA

error: ‘OSSL_PROVIDER’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘SSL_TXT_IDEA’?

  static OSSL_PROVIDER *deflt;

 

Code is as below:

                static OSSL_PROVIDER *legacy;

                static OSSL_PROVIDER *deflt;

 

Trying to use them as below:

                OSSL_PROVIDER * SSLSocket::legacy;

                OSSL_PROVIDER * SSLSocket::deflt;

 

We are trying to use provider functionalities like OSSL_PROVIDER_load() and OSSL_PROVIDER_unload() in our app and only on linux it is not able to reference although we have included openssl headers.

 

Please suggest what could be the problem here?

 

Thanks,

Kirtikumar
