Legacy Provider support?

wyllys66 opened this issue · 4 comments

I have an app that requires access to one of the old deprecated ciphers - CAST5. According to OpenSSL, I should be able to load the "legacy" provider to get access to these older algs, but when I try it fails.

Is "legacy" provider support a configurable option that can be made available?

I figured out that the legacy providers can be included in libcrypto.a if you use the "no-module" option to the "Configure" script when building. Can this be added to the baseline in a future release? Older code supporting things like PGP need access to some of the legacy crypto (CAST5 in particular).
