SSL CTX contains no cyphers

Post by JimBodkins » 2007/11/24 21:50:03

I have been using 4.5 (a commercial app) and tried 5.0 and got the message - SSL CTX contains no ciphers.

That is a deal killer. Why the change?

as a follow up. I log this using ERR_print_errors_fp (logfd);

18452:error:140A90A1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_new:library has no ciphers:ssl_lib.c:1
424:

This is in a function that does ..

{
SSL_METHOD *method;
SSL_CTX *ctx;

OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms (); /* Load cryptos, et.al. */
SSL_load_error_strings (); /* Bring in and register error messages */
method = SSLv3_client_method (); /* Create new client-method instance */
ctx = SSL_CTX_new (method); /* Create new context */
if (ctx == NULL)
{
ERR_print_errors_fR_print_errors_fp (logfd);
abort ();
}
return ctx;


CentOS 4x was fine. CentOS 5x has no ciphers. This effects secure credit card transactions, secure connections via https etc.

What changed?
