Re: port openssl to wolfssl

Hi subale255,

X509_sign() is not yet part of the compatibility layer, to get wolfSSL to replace OpenSSL in this case it would require expanding the compatibility layer to support X509_sign(). I'll add the API to our desired feature request list, but that has no start time and could be speed up through consulting or by a contribution. Can you tell us some about the project?

A way around it would be signing a certificate through wolfSSL's native API currently and replacing the call to X509_sign in the project. More info on signing certificates with wolfSSL can be found in chapter 7 of the manual https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/wolfssl-manual/ch7/ and an example of using the native wolfSSL API here https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl-exam … r/certgen.

Regards,
Jacob
