How to make a DLL FIPS validated

[Prajeed Chathuar via openssl-users <openssl-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi team,

In one of our product, we consumes the OPENSSL static libraries and make the use of FIPSLD to make the complete application/DLL FIPS validated module.

In a process of migrating the OPENSSL v1.0.2 to v3.0.8, I couldn't find any replacement for FIPSLD script used in previous version.

I did go through the FIPS provider concept and the steps for making FIP validated OPENSSL libraries, but couldn't find any ways for making the application/DLL FIPS validated while using the OPENSSL static library.

Please let me know if there are any other ways to make application/DLL(by using the OPENSSL static libraries) FIPS validated, other than using the FIPS validated OPENSSL dynamic libraries.

Regards,

Prajeed
