Hello stunnel users,

I'm trying to compile stunnel 4.56 with FIPS support on Ubuntu 12.04. Always end up with the infamous "fingerprint does not match" error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

1. Download openssl-fips-2.0.2.tar.gz, unpack, ./config, make, and sudo make install (as specified in http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-2.0.pdf)

2. Download openssl-1.0.1e.tar.gz, unpack, ./config fips --with-fipslibdir=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/lib/ --with-fipsdir=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/, make depend, make, and sudo make install

3. At this point, openssl is working in FIPS mode:

> OPENSSL_FIPS=1 /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version

OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

> OPENSSL_FIPS=1 /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl sha1 c_rehash

SHA1(c_rehash)= 5af9e1479950bbbd9d3304c181b3f802c54f64fd

> OPENSSL_FIPS=1 /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl md5 c_rehash

Error setting digest md5

139806582736544:error:060A80A3:digital envelope routines:FIPS_DIGESTINIT:disabled for fips:fips_md.c:180:

4. Download stunnel-4.56.tar.gz, unpack, ./configure --enable-fips --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl, make, and sudo make install

5. While configuring and building stunnel completes as expected, the following does appear in ./configure's output:

checking whether to enable FIPS mode support... yes

configure: **************************************** SSL

configure: WARNING: OpenSSL fips header not found

This is not entirely unexpected as fips.h only exists in /usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/include/openssl.

6. Running stunnel however fails:

I can't figure out what's causing this, hoping someone on the list may have a couple suggestions. Thanks in advance!
