Hi!

Regarding the FIPS_selftest method. I am a little bit confused regarding
this method, according to the documentation UserGuide-2.0.pdf section 2.6.1
it should be possible to call this method. The UserGuide clearly states “*A
power-up self-test is performed automatically by the FIPS_mode_set() call,
or optionally at any time by the FIPS_selftest()”*

However linking dynamically to libeay on Windows FIPS_selftest will always
fail. I can see how it would be possible to run this method if static
linking were utilized.

This could easily be fixed, so is this by design or am I missing something?

Should FIPS_selftest not be called when using dynamic linking? Is the
UserGuide wrong?


Best Regards

Rickard Binnare
