Hi,
Fedora started a project called Crypto Consolidation [1], [2] some time
ago. The conclusion is that for licensing and certification reasons we
will standardize on the NSS library. That's why I would like to start
adding support for NSS library into OpenHPI as a alternative to the
currently used OpenSSL library.
If I have read the sources carefully, there are 2 areas in OpenHPI where
OpenSSL is used now - the first one is digest/hash computing in the
ipmidirect plugin and the second one is SSL support in the oa_soap and
ilo2_ribcl plugins. The first area can be done easily in parallel with
NSS primitives and for the second area it can be either reimplemented
for NSS or a compatibility library nss_compat_ossl could be used. I have
seen that some form of modular SSL/crypto support was just being added,
so I would like to coordinate my work with the one that is already in
progress.
