I get this message when using openssl.  We did not install openssl in /rsusr/rocket, but instead used a different path.  Shouldn't openssl base the location of the openssl.cnf file on the location of the openssl binary?  Should we just "bite the bullet" and install it (or set a symbolic link from) /rsusr/rocket?

Hi Frank,

You can just set the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable to your own location:
export OPENSSL_CONF=/your/openssl/location/ssl/openssl.cnf

Thanks,

    @Alexander Klochkov, thank you.  That worked.​
