NAME

6       openssl-env - OpenSSL environment variables
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The OpenSSL libraries use environment variables to override the
10       compiled-in default paths for various data.  To avoid security risks,
11       the environment is usually not consulted when the executable is set-
12       user-ID or set-group-ID.
13
14       CTLOG_FILE
15           Specifies the path to a certificate transparency log list.  See
16           CTLOG_STORE_new(3).
17
18       OPENSSL
19           Specifies the path to the openssl executable. Used by the rehash
20           script (see "Script Configuration" in openssl-rehash(1)) and by the
21           CA.pl script (see "NOTES" in CA.pl(1)
22
23       OPENSSL_CONF, OPENSSL_CONF_INCLUDE
24           Specifies the path to a configuration file and the directory for
25           included files.  See config(5).
26
27       OPENSSL_CONFIG
28           Specifies a configuration option and filename for the req and ca
29           commands invoked by the CA.pl script.  See CA.pl(1).
30
31       OPENSSL_ENGINES
32           Specifies the directory from which dynamic engines are loaded.  See
33           openssl-engine(1).
34
35       OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD, OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES
36           If built with debugging, this allows memory allocation to fail.
37           See OPENSSL_malloc(3).
38
39       OPENSSL_MODULES
40           Specifies the directory from which cryptographic providers are
41           loaded.  Equivalently, the generic -provider-path command-line
42           option may be used.
43
44       OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8
45           If set, then UI_OpenSSL(3) returns UTF-8 encoded strings, rather
46           than ones encoded in the current code page, and the openssl(1)
47           program also transcodes the command-line parameters from the
48           current code page to UTF-8.  This environment variable is only
49           checked on Microsoft Windows platforms.
50
51       RANDFILE
52           The state file for the random number generator.  This should not be
53           needed in normal use.  See RAND_load_file(3).
54
55       SSL_CERT_DIR, SSL_CERT_FILE
56           Specify the default directory or file containing CA certificates.
57           See SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3).
58
59       TSGET
60           Additional arguments for the tsget(1) command.
61
62       OPENSSL_ia32cap, OPENSSL_sparcv9cap, OPENSSL_ppccap, OPENSSL_armcap,
63       OPENSSL_s390xcap
64           OpenSSL supports a number of different algorithm implementations
65           for various machines and, by default, it determines which to use
66           based on the processor capabilities and run time feature enquiry.
67           These environment variables can be used to exert more control over
68           this selection process.  See OPENSSL_ia32cap(3),
69           OPENSSL_s390xcap(3).
70
71       NO_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY
72           Specify a proxy hostname.  See OSSL_HTTP_parse_url(3).
