Subject: Re: Crypto on SLES 11 SP1 - ssl engine ibmca

We had it configured right, but thanks for that doc!  Very useful!
My problem was the syntax has changed between 10 and 11 for openssl.

This works on both:

openssl
speed rsa1024 -engine ibmca

 
And sles 11 sp1 has dynamic ibmca engine support so it will find it without the 
need to use the -engine flag.

It also has a nice "icastats" command to let you see what it did with HW vs SW.

The doc in the link is a little unclear about whether Novell is providing 
OpenSSH crypto support, but I verfied that it is in there.

This will save some cpu cycles!

Take a look at  
http://www.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101690  When I read 
it, I stepped through it on our z10 and everything worked as described.  From 
what I remember, you need to edit the /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file to add the bits 
from /usr/share/doc/packages/openssl-ibmca/openssl.cnf.sample thats included in 
the openssl-ibmca package.
