Whomever,
I have a couple of
OpenSSL platform questions.
Was OpenSSL designed
to run on an EBCDIC platform?
Are there specific
generation options required for generating OpenSSL for a EBCDIC
platform?
If there are
specific generation options can someone be kind enough to give me a detailed
list of the options and their values.
Our organization
would like to run EBCDIC applications using OpenSSL on a
mainframe. Certificates passed to various OpenSSL functions would be
ASCII, i.e. the certificates will be stored as ASCII pem files on the
mainframe, but the OpenSSL code would be compiled in EBCDIC mode. We have
encountered problems where certificate content checking is done using EBCDIC
literals against certificate data that is in ASCII and it obviously
fails.
We have tried
converting the ASCII pem files to EBCDIC but had no success, not
unexpectedly considering the pem file is encoded.
I appreciate any
feedback.
