Add option to set an alternative to the default hmacWithSHA1 PRF
for PKCS#8 private key encryptions. This is used automatically
by PKCS8_encrypt if the nid specified is a PRF.
Add option to pkcs8 utility.
Update docs.
CONF_modules_unload() now calls CONF_modules_finish()
automatically.
Default use of section openssl_conf moved to
CONF_modules_load()
Load config file in several openssl utilities.
Most utilities now load modules from the config file,
though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
because it couldn't be used for anything.
In the case of ca and req the config file used is
the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
command line option can be used to specify an
alternative file.
horrible macros.
Fix two evil ASN1 bugs. Attempt to use 'ctx' when
NULL if input is indefinite length constructed
in asn1_check_tlen() and invalid pointer to ASN1_TYPE
when reusing existing structure (this took *ages* to
find because the new PKCS#12 code triggered it).
record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record. Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this. After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names
on some operating systems or other packages. That is reason enough to change
the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
that can automatically determine the type of a DER encoded
"traditional" format private key and change some of the
d2i functions to use it instead of requiring the application
to work out the key type.
