Hello, after serveral tests (and reading a lot of howto's) I'm now fairly convinced that the Solaris HW-crypto engine is not automatically used. Even when dovecot ist compiled with the OpenSSL version provided by Solaris.
Currently I have only a T1-CPU available for testing (Sun Fire T2000) and after patching src/login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c (Dovecot 1.2.17) with
ENGINE *e; ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); ENGINE_init((e=ENGINE_by_id("pkcs11")));
Does "openssl engine" return this "pkcs11" string?
ENGINE_set_default_RSA(e); ENGINE_set_default_DSA(e); ENGINE_set_default_ciphers(e);
in ssl_proxy_init() and inserting ENGINE_cleanup(); in ssl_proxy_deinit() the crypto device gets used. I'm sure that this is not the whole story since this only seems to affect the IMAP login.
It should work for POP3 as well, all of the SSL code is shared.
One has to use the specific SSL-engine and the ENGINE/EVP calls (as stated in the various articles). Is there any chance that Dovecot gets updated/patched for this ? E.g. Like the SSLCryptoDevice setting in Apache's mod_ssl.
I guess I could add ssl_crypto_device setting for this. But I'll need to figure out proper ifdefs to avoid compile failures with older OpenSSL versions.
