NAME

openssl-env - OpenSSL environment variables

DESCRIPTION

The OpenSSL libraries use environment variables to override the compiled-in default paths for various data. To avoid security risks, the environment is usually not consulted when the executable is set-user-ID or set-group-ID.

CTLOG_FILE

Specifies the path to a certificate transparency log list. See OPENSSL

Specifies the path to the openssl executable. Only used by the rehash script. See OPENSSL_CONF

Specifies the path to a configuration file. See config(5).

OPENSSL_ENGINES

Specifies the directory from which dynamic engines are loaded. See OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD, OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES

If built with debugging, this allows memory allocation to fail. See OPENSSL_MODULES

Specifies the directory from which cryptographic providers are loaded. See OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8

If set, then openssl(1) program also transcodes the command-line parameters from the current code page to UTF-8. This environment variable is only checked on Microsoft Windows platforms.

RANDFILE

The state file for the random number generator. This should not be needed in normal use. See SSL_CERT_DIR, SSL_CERT_FILE

Specify the default directory or file containing CA certificates. See TSGET
