SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hello, everyone!
I used SoftEtherVpn on OpenSuse 13.2 and it works fine.
One day i tried to use it on new OpenSuse Leap. SeVpn build process failed with error:

-- Alert: RsaCheck() --
OpenSSL Library Init Failed. (too old?)
Please install the latest version of OpenSSL.

After OpenSuse 42.2 Leap release i repeated this experiment on it.
It failed again with same error:
-- Alert: RsaCheck() --
OpenSSL Library Init Failed. (too old?)
Please install the latest version of OpenSSL.

Openssl versions:
OpenSuse 13.2
openssl-1.0.1k-2.33.1.x86_64
libopenssl1_0_0-1.0.1k-2.33.1.x86_64
libopenssl-devel-1.0.1k-2.39.1.x86_64

OpenSuse 42.2 Leap
libopenssl1_0_0-1.0.2j-4.1.x86_64
openssl-1.0.2j-4.1.x86_64
libopenssl-devel-1.0.2j-4.1.x86_64
libopenssl1_0_0-32bit-1.0.2j-4.1.x86_64

So, after few days researching i found reason: rsa key length error.

File:
src/Mayaqua/Encrypt.c

Function: bool RsaCheck()

variable: UINT bit = 32;

You need to change it to 1024 or higher (i tested with value: 2048 - ok)

It would be great if my topic help anyone.

Hi,

i haven't had this issue on ubuntu 16.04, but I think this is a very good catch.

You should create a pull request on github and use 2048 as a value. According to the documentation, anything < 1024 is considered insecure.

Or if you want, I can create the pull request

Cheers,
