Topic: NO_HMAC build error

When I define NO_HMAC, I get build errors in several files.  I do not see a reference in the documentation to needing to set other macros with NO_HMAC - are other macros required to be disabled, too, or is this a build problem?  Thank you.

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Hi Tammy,

wolfSSL internally has a dependency on HMAC and the option to --enable/--disable hmac was removed years ago. Can you point out where you found NO_HMAC in the documentation so I can update the doc to note that NO_HMAC is no longer supported and should not be used with SSL/TLS?


Warm Regards,

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Hello Kaleb,

Thank you for your response.  I am referring to documentation at this link.  https://www.wolfssl.com/documentation/w … Manual.pdf

Is this the proper document that I should be using?

Thanks,
Tammy

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Hi Tammy,

Yes that is the correct document to be using. Here is what I will update the manual section to read:

NO_HMAC removes HMAC from the build.
NOTE: HMAC is a dependency of SSL/TLS but if you are only using wolfCrypt IE build option "WOLFCRYPT_ONLY" then NO_HMAC can be used in this case.

Will that help to clarify it better?

Warmest Regards,

KH

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Thank you, Kaleb.  When I build with WOLFCRYPT_ONLY defined and NO_HMAC defined, I still get build errors in pkcs12.c.  From your comment above, it seems that this should build successfully.  Is there another macro that needs to be toggled?

Tammy,

Can you tell me what other settings you are using?

$ ./configure --enable-pkcs12 --enable-cryptonly CFLAGS=-DNO_HMAC
$ make

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Tammy,

I did find that if not using the configure setup you must also define WOLFSSL_NO_TLS12 explicitly, this is set by the auto-tools but not in a makefile setup or if using settings.h to control the build. I will open a PR to address this.

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Thank you, Kaleb.

I am porting WolfSSL to the Nucleus OS, so listing out the configuration options is a little tricky - also because I think I have some out of date configuration options in my port.  I am porting version 4.0.0 from a previous version.

I found a lot of macros in the code that are not documented in the latest WolfSSL manual as configurable, but Nucleus has allowed these to be configurable in the past.  Could you possibly verify whether these macros should be configurable by the user in the 4.0.0 version of code, please?  The problem may be that we have some legacy macros enabled that should not be toggled.

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Hi Tammy,

I see several defines in the above list that would be conflicting. For example HAVE_FAST_RSA means you are on an Intel box with the Intel IPP libraries available. HAVE_CAVIUM_V would indicate you are on running on a CAVIUM part and not an Intel part, the two together do not reflect a traditional use case for example, were those really being used together previously? Another conflict is BIG_SESSION_CACHE and HUGE_SESSION_CACHE, you can set one or the other but not both.

Were all of these settings really being used at the same time previously or are you just listing everything? Many of these are documented in the manual here: https://www.wolfssl.com/documentation/w … Manual.pdf

See Chapter 2 section 2.4 and the appropriate sub-section and we are in a release cycle right now so more settings will be added when the new manual is published. Perhaps you can provide a list of settings you are actively using and note when a feature is turned on if it causes errors or not and we can evaluate those?

Warm Regards,

KH

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Hello Kaleb,

No, these are not being set at the same time.  These are just configuration options that we have identified within WolfSSL that should be exposed to the user.  I am just checking with you to see which ones are no longer valid within WolfSSL since I do not see these in the latest version of documentation.

Re: NO_HMAC build error

Tammy,

That is good to hear! I will review the list and try to get updates for each of these that are not yet in the documentation. I've opened a PR to resolve the NO_HMAC with wolfcrypt only when not using the configure script to run the build here: https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/2365

KH
