FIPS mode for MOD_SSL

Dear Apache developer,



(this is related to Apache bugzilla 46270)



I'm attempting to build a FIPS compliant version of Apache 2.2.14.

I've applied a patch to the SSL modules directory and it seems to work,

except httpd ends up calling "ssl_init_Module" more than once. The
first

time(s), httpd initializes correctly.



On the final run, the base_server->FIPS flag is not pre-initialized and

httpd always seems to start in FIPS mode.



Could this be related to changes made in server/main.c?

I've attached main.c from the latest Apache (2.2.14) , and the patched
version of

ssl_engine_init.c.



for (mod = ap_prelinked_modules; *mod != NULL; mod++) {

ap_register_hooks(*mod, pconf);

}



/* This is a hack until we finish the code so that it only reads

* the config file once and just operates on the tree already in

* memory. rbb

*/



(etc.)



if (ap_run_post_config(pconf, plog, ptemp, server_conf) != OK)

(This is where ssl_init_Module is re-run but with an uninitialized
sc->FIPS flag)



Any help would be most welcome.

If you need more information, please feel free to ask.



Yours truly,



Peter Arseneau
