According to this: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata
RHEL5 is out of support as of 3/31/2017 for patches, except for security patching. No new features will be added to RHEL5, to include TLS v1.1 support (requires OpenSSL 1.0.x). First compile OpenSSL 1.0.2 (in a different path), then compile Stunnel (5.41) using the /usr/local for the prefix (per previous links), and perhaps some other switches too (based on info from those URLs). >From the links I found, you can have multiple versions of OpenSSL, but you have to link to one when compiling Stunnel. The one you choose when compiling Stunnel will want to be the newer one you compiled. IMHO, I would migrate your RHEL5 to RHEL6 or RHEL7, but that may be considerably more difficult than just compiling OpenSSL and Stunnel. -Rob On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 4:15 PM, Kenway Ng <[email protected]> wrote: > Please let me know if I am completely off.
