2020-07-21Avoid errors with a priori inapplicable protocol boundsViktor Dukhovni
The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configurign DTLS-based contexts, and conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS and DTLS. SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g. TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to limits in configuration files in command-line options.

2020-07-21Add ERR_raise() errors to fips OSSL_provider_init and self tests.Shane Lontis
As the ERR_raise() is setup at this point returng a range of negative values for errors is not required. This will need to be revisited if the code ever moves to running from the DEP. Added a -config option to the fips install so that it can test if a fips module is loadable from configuration. (The -verify option only uses the generated config, whereas -config uses the normal way of including the generated data via another config file). Added more failure tests for the raised errors.

2020-03-20Add support for passing the libctx to the config loaderShane Lontis
The self tests for the fips module are triggered on startup and they need to know the core's libctx in order to function correctly. As the provider can be autoloaded via configuration it then needs to propagate the callers libctx down to the provider via the config load. Note that OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG, ..) is still called, but will only load the default configuration if the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable is set.
