Re: Antw: use openssl or moznss for more than TLS?

We are using {SSHA} (SHA-1) in OpenLDAP now. The customer wants

And they require a FIPS-validated implementation, which I think narrows our
options to using either OpenSSL or NSS in FIPS mode. I cannot see a better
way to meet the customer's two requirements than gutting pw-sha2 and using
that as a thin wrapper for the raw crypto functions in either openssl or
nss.
You probably should first ask on the openssl-users mailing list under which
conditions you get some "FIPS-validated" code regarding the whole OpenLDAP
"application". Likely it's not feasible.
I'm pretty sure that your customer FIPS requirement is plain nonsense and you
might work around this by some other strange policy text. ;-}
Ciao, Michael.
