personally I don't think it will help with your problem, but it is of course worth a try. (I hope I'll be able to perform some tests with the BP soon. I will follow up with a report once I have done this, but I cannot make any promises on this.) > I was checking your message, and I looked for the > library you talk about, but I didn't find it in the > openssl's lib directory, is this library supposed to > be there? or is this library located in the nCipher > software ?

My original post was based on an 0.9.8 snapshot. I just checked out OpenSSL 0.9.8. It seems that the maintainers have renamed the nCipher support library from lib/engines/libncipher.so to lib/engines/libchil.so So please check if you have libchil.so. If this is not the case, the reason might be either your build process or the package maintainer of your distribution. The library is created during the build process of OpenSSL. (Engine support must be enabled in the configure step.) After installing OpenSSL, the shared libs are located in opensslinstalldir/lib/engines/ The RPM Spec file shipped with OpenSSL 0.9.8 seems to omit the lib/engines directoy. I had to add this directory to the spec file to generate RPM packages that contain the engine support libraries. I'd rather not send you the library because this may cause problems due to incompatible build and runtime environments between our systems. > Once I have the library located, I must put it on the > lib directory from my new OpenSSL and add the tags to > my token.xml. Do I have to do anything else? or is > that enough? Modify the token.xml file to reference libchil.so, not libncipher.so.
