Greetings to all!
I was trying to compile xFreeRdp on macOS following the instructions here
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Compilation and have problems.
Apple don't provide openssl on Mac anymore, and so we need to install it from brew or from macports. But! Currently
FreeRDP tries to access "FIPS" extensions in openssl when on linking stage, and as I can say after some research - nor
homebrew nor macports provides opeenssl with FIPS extensions, just openssl without FIPS.
Even more, I was reading that openssl project don't recommend/provide to enable/compile FIPS on macOS system - in their
PDF document macOS was not in list of systems that could use FIPS.
(Sorry for not exact terms, I don't understand the details yet, just common
things regarding this FIPS and openssl on mac)
So, could you recommend the workaround for this situation? Can I somehow disable using of "FIPS" in FreeRDP so "usual"
openssl could be used to build?
If so, will that break some compatibility with Microsoft RDP server on Windows?
If we really need FIPS in FreeRDP but openssl don't provide/recommed/etc FIPS
on macOS platform - what we can do?
I saw that you are trying to create/use your own encryption layer which will internally use different "backends" like
openssl or other system. Is there any progress in using Apples's native encryption libs instead of openssl on mac(&
ios?) platform? I assume this will be a real "solution" for the issue. Any starting point to look at this?
I appreciate any comment on this or even simple link to help me move forward on
this problem.
Vladimir.
