There should certainly be a CONF_set_default_config_file(..) function to allow applications to set this value. Unlike on Unix, I expect that most Windows applications provide their own copy of OpenSSL and do not share a single copy. So having a specific location would be inappropriate. Environment variables are also of little use on Windows under most configurations. My suggestion would be to use the path of the DLL (or linked executable) as the default location for the config file. Jeffrey Altman * Sr.Software Designer C-Kermit 8.0 available now!!!
