The upgrade is now working fine in one of the applications which make TLS 
connections. I can see the engine functions being called when some action 
(sign/verify) which require the privatekey.

However, this engine is also used in a patched version of Racoon2.
In one of the files (crypto_openssl.c) a function is called by the IKE daemon 
(iked) during setup with:
            :
EVP_SignInit(&ctx, md);
EVP_SignUpdate(&ctx, octets->v, octets->l);
EVP_SignFinal(&ctx, (unsigned char*)sig->v, &siglen, pkey);
:
With the upgraded OpenSSL v1.0.2, the last function now fails with the error:
2017-08-28 15:44:14 [INTERNAL_ERR]: 
crypto_openssl.c:1238:eay_rsassa_pkcs1_v1_5_sign(): RSA_sign failed: 
30972:error:0606B06E:digital envelope routines:EVP_SignFinal:wrong public key 
type:p_sign.c:123:

Q: I assume it is looking for one of the missing parameters (p) in the RSA 
structure - correct?
Q: If so, how did it work in v0.9.8?

If I change the first command to:
EVP_SignInit_ex(&ctx, md, engine);
Then it segfaults in the "SignFinal" command :(

The engine is dynamically loaded the same way in both my TLS connection 
application and in the Racoon2 application.

Thanks for your time - any help is appreciated!

Thanks for the help.

I've come to learn that my problem is the HSM. It removes the RSA values p,q 
and d from the EVP key before returning it. This is normal since it is 
protecting the key by keeping it in the HSM - duh. Anyway so, I cannot use it 
as a normal key. "Live and learn"

So this bring me to the next question: Is there any changes I need to make in 
the OpenSSL Engine for my upgrade (0.9.8 -> 1.0.2) to be complete?

Regards,

Subject: [openssl-dev] Upgrading OpenSSL

Hi all,

I am task to update two machines from v0.9.8z to v1.0.2 (since it is LTS).

With the minimal changes, I've been able to get the application on the machines 
to compile with the newer version and generate RSA 4096 key pairs. The 
applications are able to successfully use their respective private keys and 
certificates to establish TLS connection between them. However, when I used the 
CLI to check a dumped privatekey i got the following output:

% openssl rsa -check -in privkey.pem
unable to load Private Key
1995859152:error:0D078079:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:field 
missing:tasn_dec.c:489:Field=d, Type=RSA
1995859152:error:04093004:rsa routines:OLD_RSA_PRIV_DECODE:RSA 
lib:rsa_ameth.c:121:

1995859152:error:0907B00D:PEM routines:PEM_READ_BIO_PRIVATEKEY:ASN1 
lib:pem_pkey.c:141:

Any suggestions at what is wrong with the key?
Note that an ID is stored in the RSA extended data since the private key may be 
stored in HSM.

Thanks for your time
