What SSL version does it need and are the correct DLLs shipped with the RemObjects Data Abstract or RO SDK installer?

I searched the program files (x86) folders under where remobjects has installed itself and do not see this dll. (libeay32.dll). In some EARLIER versions of Delphi than the one I’m using (Delphi 10.3) there is a libeay dll in the C:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\20.0\bin folder, but in 10.3 (20.0) there is no libeay shipped with the program, nor is there one shipped with REmObjects. Which DLL is used?

Using one that I had lying around on my hard drive I get:

exception message : SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos is not found.

It seems to me that a binary installer should include binary dependencies it needs? Latest I can find for indy use is

Hi,

Grijjy itself requires open ssl libraries even when SSL isn’t required.
Thus we have set Grijjy package as an optional in installer.
I’ve logged an issue for loading these dll by demand at their site.

I am now just getting this error with Delphi 12.3 just updated. And RemObjects Data Abstract for Delphi, Server Edition - 10.0.0.1607.

It may be that the file libeay32.dll the IDE finds was ok with 12.2 but not with 12.3.

In what location would it be looking?

Hi,

We don’t ship OpenSSL dll with Data Abstract. You should download them manually from GitHub - IndySockets/OpenSSL-Binaries: An archive of OpenSSL binaries that are typically used with Indy or from other site.

if you are testing IDE x64 , you also should download OpenSSL x64 dll and put them somewhere in %path%.

thanks - I did not install the IDE x64. I have many copies of the libeay32.dll in many locations. The previous version of DataAbstract / Remote Objects did not have this error in 12.2. The %path% may have found a mismatched copy of the dll…
Question - there is no specific location that Data Abstract Grijjy package ‘looks’.?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

it usually looks for dll in folders inside %path% variable.

However Delphi IDE can override system variables so you can just add folder with OpenSSL libraries here:

Thank you, it is ‘working’ now. I am pretty sure I tried to add the package before, but maybe not. (I have not used the component in an app…)
