Public Class Methods

OpenSSL::Engine.by_id(name) → engine

Fetches the engine as specified by the id String.

OpenSSL::Engine.by_id("openssl")
 => #<OpenSSL::Engine id="openssl" name="Software engine support">

See OpenSSL::Engine.engines for the currently loaded engines.

static VALUE
ossl_engine_s_by_id(VALUE klass, VALUE id)
{
    ENGINE *e;
    VALUE obj;

    StringValueCStr(id);
    ossl_engine_s_load(1, &id, klass);
    obj = NewEngine(klass);
    if(!(e = ENGINE_by_id(RSTRING_PTR(id))))
        ossl_raise(eEngineError, NULL);
    SetEngine(obj, e);
    if(rb_block_given_p()) rb_yield(obj);

                0, NULL, (void(*)(void))ossl_pem_passwd_cb);
    ossl_clear_error();

    return obj;
}
OpenSSL::Engine.cleanup

It is only necessary to run cleanup when engines are loaded via OpenSSL::Engine.load. However, running cleanup before exit is recommended.

Note that this is needed and works only in OpenSSL < 1.1.0.

static VALUE
ossl_engine_s_cleanup(VALUE self)
{
#if defined(LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER) || OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000
    ENGINE_cleanup();
#endif
    return Qnil;
}
OpenSSL::Engine.engines → [engine, ...]

Returns an array of currently loaded engines.

static VALUE
ossl_engine_s_engines(VALUE klass)
{
    ENGINE *e;
    VALUE ary, obj;

    ary = rb_ary_new();
    for(e = ENGINE_get_first(); e; e = ENGINE_get_next(e)){
        obj = NewEngine(klass);
        /* Need a ref count of two here because of ENGINE_free being
         * called internally by OpenSSL when moving to the next ENGINE
         * and by us when releasing the ENGINE reference */
        ENGINE_up_ref(e);
        SetEngine(obj, e);
        rb_ary_push(ary, obj);
    }

    return ary;
}
OpenSSL::Engine.load(name = nil)

This method loads engines. If name is nil, then all builtin engines are loaded. Otherwise, the given name, as a String, is loaded if available to your runtime, and returns true. If name is not found, then nil is returned.

static VALUE
ossl_engine_s_load(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE name;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &name);
    if(NIL_P(name)){
        ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
        return Qtrue;
