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
CTLOG_STORE_new(3).
OPENSSL
Specifies the path to the openssl executable. Used by the rehash
script (see "Script Configuration" in openssl-rehash(1)) and by the
CA.pl script (see "NOTES" in CA.pl(1)
OPENSSL_CONF, OPENSSL_CONF_INCLUDE
Specifies the path to a configuration file and the directory for
included files. See config(5).
OPENSSL_CONFIG
Specifies a configuration option and filename for the req and ca
commands invoked by the CA.pl script. See CA.pl(1).
OPENSSL_ENGINES
Specifies the directory from which dynamic engines are loaded. See
openssl-engine(1).
OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD, OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES
If built with debugging, this allows memory allocation to fail.
See OPENSSL_malloc(3).
OPENSSL_MODULES
Specifies the directory from which cryptographic providers are
loaded. Equivalently, the generic -provider-path command-line
option may be used.
OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8
If set, then UI_OpenSSL(3) returns UTF-8 encoded strings, rather
than ones encoded in the current code page, and the 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 RAND_load_file(3).
SSL_CERT_DIR, SSL_CERT_FILE
Specify the default directory or file containing CA certificates.
See SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3).
TSGET
Additional arguments for the tsget(1) command.
this selection process. See OPENSSL_ia32cap(3),
OPENSSL_s390xcap(3).
NO_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY
Specify a proxy hostname. See OSSL_HTTP_parse_url(3).
