If <b>appname</b> is NULL then the default section, <b>openssl_conf</b>, will be used. Errors are silently ignored. Multiple calls have no effect.</p> <p>OPENSSL_no_config() disables configuration. If called before OPENSSL_config() no configuration takes place.</p> <p>If the application is built with <b>OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF</b> defined, then a call to OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will implicitly call OPENSSL_config() first.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>The OPENSSL_config() function is designed to be a very simple "call it and forget it" function. It is however <b>much</b> better than nothing. Applications which need finer control over their configuration functionality should use the configuration functions such as CONF_modules_load() directly. This function is deprecated and its use should be avoided. Applications should instead call CONF_modules_load() during initialization (that is before starting any threads).</p> <p>There are several reasons why calling the OpenSSL configuration routines is advisable. For example, to load dynamic ENGINEs from shared libraries (DSOs). However, very few applications currently support the control interface and so very few can load and use dynamic ENGINEs. Equally in future more sophisticated ENGINEs will require certain control operations to customize them. If an application calls OPENSSL_config() it doesn't need to know or care about ENGINE control operations because they can be performed by editing a configuration file.</p> <h1 id="ENVIRONMENT">ENVIRONMENT</h1> <dl> <dt id="OPENSSL_CONF"><b>OPENSSL_CONF</b></dt> <dd> <p>The path to the config file.
