Following are some helpful > commands to give you an idea of the machine and openSSL I am using OpenSSL version shipped in RHEL 5 is the newest version that's compatible with other applications and tools shipped in this RHEL version. It does have all the important bug fixes and security fixes backported (if you think it is missing something, please contact us through Customer Portal). If you want to have a newer openssl version (e.g. to have support for AES-GCM or TLS1.2), you will have to upgrade to newer RHEL release (6.5). If you need only a single application to support newer cryptography, you shouldn't replace the system version of openssl with version 1.0.x or you will most likely break your install. -- Regards, Hubert Kario BaseOS QE Security team Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 99/71, 612 45, Brno, Czech Republic ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
