openssl speed inconsistent behavior

[beldmit]

openssl speed -provider legacy -evp md4 works normally, though reporting

00D24E505F7F0000:error:0308010C:digital envelope routines:inner_evp_generic_fetch:unsupported:crypto/evp/evp_fetch.c:373:Global default library context, Algorithm (CTR-DRBG : 0), Properties (<null>)
00D24E505F7F0000:error:12000090:random number generator:rand_new_drbg:unable to fetch drbg:crypto/rand/rand_lib.c:577:

which is suboptimal but not really important.

At the same time, the command
openssl speed -evp md4 -provider legacy
does not work at all:

speed: md4 is an unknown cipher or digest

Didn't check against master branch so labeling 3.0 only

[lelik107]

I tried to test speed using OpenSSL v. 3.1.1 (msys2 and and slproweb) and 3.0.9 (slproweb) windows x64 and got same errors with this command:
openssl.exe speed -evp (ciphers affected:) cast5-cbc, cast, bf, idea, rc2, rc4, seed.

But this works just fine with v. 1.1.1u. And this is something isn't right.

[beldmit]

Yes. In 3.0 you should load legacy provider for those algorithms.

E.g. openssl speed -provider legacy -evp rc4 should work, I think

[lelik107]

Yes. In 3.0 you should load legacy provider for those algorithms.

E.g. openssl speed -provider legacy -evp rc4 should work, I think

You are right about command the test started but here what I have after it:

[beldmit]

Yes. It's not an error though it looks nasty.

[lelik107]

May be but we don't have test results anyway.

[beldmit]

openssl speed -provider legacy -provider default rc4 should do the trick

[lelik107]

Thank you this did the job. Can't you tell me how to use -provider-path option in Windows? Example may be.

[beldmit]

Have no Windows and no idea :)

[lelik107]

Lucky guy ? :) It can be
openssl speed -provider-path "C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin" -provider legacy -provider default rc4
I just forgot quotes :) And thanks for help again.

This is very much debatable whether this is a bug or just not a nice UI experience.
