Hope you are doing great, I am writing this to inform you that I have been facing issues while loading the FIPS provider. I didn't install the Openssl 3.0.8 on the machine instead, compiled it on JENKINS Server.
Commands to compile the OpenSSL 3.0.8 version on JENKINS Server:
@echo Configuring the compilation environment
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix="%WORKSPACE%\Delivery\x86" enable-fips
@echo Building FIPS capable OpenSSL DLLs
nmake
@echo Running self test
nmake test
@echo Copying files to the delivery folder (prefix)
nmake install
These files were generated in the respective folders:
bin ----- libcrypto-3.dll, libcrypto-3.pdb, libssl-3.dll, libssl-3.pdb, openssl.exe
html ----- having all the API
include ---- openssl ---- All header files
lib --- engines-3 ---- capi.dll, loader-attic.dll, padlock.dll
lib --- engines-3 ---- capi.dll, loader-attic.dll, padlock.dll
|----- ossl-modules ---fips.dll, legacy.dll, fips.pdb, legacy.pdb
|------libcrypto.lib, libssl.lib
I created a console application, and added the Openssl compiled files in Project Properties:
1. Added the include/openssl folder in C/C++ -- General --- Additional Include Directories
![image.png]()
2. Added libraries (lib) folder in Linker -- General -- Additional Library Directories
1. Added the include/openssl folder in C/C++ -- General --- Additional Include Directories
2. Added libraries (lib) folder in Linker -- General -- Additional Library Directories
3. Write down the libraries name in Linker --- Input ---- Additional Dependencies:
Then manually created a folder of OpenSSL in C:\Program Files (x86), and created further two folders:
config -- have 2 files ---- fipsmodule.cnf, openssl.cnf
ossl-modules ---- have dll files as ------ fips.dll, fips.pdb, legacy.dll, legacy.pdb
Then created the System Environment Variables and refer these path in it:
![image.png]()
I created the fipsmodule.cnf file after running the openssl.exe on command prompt using this command:
openssl fipsinstall -module "path\to\fips.dll" -out "path\to\fips.cnf"
I am also sharing my openssl.cnf file and fipsmodule.cnf file to check if there is any mistake or something else?
I am doing this stuff in Windows and Visual Studio.
Please kindly guide me how can I load the FIPS Provider in my Application without installing OPENSSL on my machine? And at which location or path I need to keep all these files (dll, .cnf)?
Hope to hear from you soon.
