Bug #3045
Build failure with OpenSSL 1.1.1 without API compatibility layer
Description
compiling openssl module fails to load with
daemon.info : 00[LIB] plugin 'openssl' failed to load: Error relocating /usr/lib/ipsec/plugins/libstrongswan-openssl.so: X509_get_notAfter: symbol not found
openssl says X509_get_notBefore() and X509_get_notAfter() were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0

but maybe openssl_asn1_to_time should also be changed to accept a const parameter. Compatibility defines for OpenSSL 1.0.2 would be a good idea as well.

Thanks for the report.
If OPENSSL_API_COMPAT is defined (and lower than 1.1.0), the openssl/x509.h header has defines for the deprecated functions (it actually maps them to X509_getm_notBefore|After, whose non-const interface probably matches the previous functions more closely).
So this actually works fine if OpenSSL is built with compatibility layer, which is the case by default (i.e. if no API level is explicitly configured). For example, see our Travis CI build that currently uses OpenSSL 1.1.1b and does not specify an API level.
but maybe openssl_asn1_to_time should also be changed to accept a const parameter
It already does (source:src/libstrongswan/plugins/openssl/openssl_util.h#L136).
I pushed some commits to the travis-openssl-api branch, which also disable OpenSSL's compat layer.

openssl: Fix build with OpenSSL 1.1.1 without compatibility layer
If OpenSSL is built with --api, defines for deprecated functions in
OpenSSL's header files are not visible anymore.
Fixes #3045.
