Hi Netsnmp Team,
Does Netsnmp-5.8 used internal OpenSSL files or
external Openssl library under yoctoproject?
README under "net-snmp-5.8/snmplib/openssl" points that "
--with-openssl=internal" to force the internal OpenSSL code.
Can I assume without this configuration netsnmp is using the OpenSSL
library?
Is there any flag/config under in yoctoproject which confirms that the
OpenSSL library is being used?
Any info/help on this?
*README:*
This directory contains modified crypto code from OpenSSL
1.0.0.beta5. Please see the OpenSSL license from that release in the
OPENSSL-LICENSE which will apply if this code is selected.
Net-SNMP may be compiled with this code using the
--with-openssl=internal flag to the configure command line.
Note*: It is generally a better idea to link with the latest OpenSSL*
*library rather than rely on this internal support*, as the latest
OpenSSL code may contain important security or other fixes that may
not have been incorporated into this snapshot. Small device vendors,
however, have requested a stripped down version of the OpenSSL
cryptography code in order to shrink their memory footprint and this
feature provides such support.
*Note also that the new SNMP over DTLS, SNMP over TLS support also*
*available in Net-SNMP 5.6 and beyond is incompatible with the internal*
*version of the OpenSSL** support since SNMP over (D)TLS requires the*
*full TLS support available in OpenSSL.*
*Thanks,*
*Sanjay*
