Re: Upgrading from OpenSSL 0.9.8 to OpenSSL 1.0.2a

[Abdul Anshad <abdul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Cathy,

FYI, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 protocols are only supported by OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 series.

Since you have upgraded the OpenSSL version from 0.9.8 to 1.0.2a, It should support the newer TLS 1.1 and 1.2 protocols. But, In addition to this you also have to recompile apache, openssh and any other important system components to make use of the newer cryptographic libraries from OpenSSL.

Good Evening,

 

I need to enable TLS 1.2 but since I currently have Apache 2.2.25 w/OpenSSL 0.9.8 installed, I can’t do that.  So, I left Apache 2.2.25 in place, installed OpenSSL 1.0.2a, and created the new openssl.cnf environment variables.  The install was successful, the correct version is showing, but TLS 1.2 is still not enabled.  Any ideas on what I am missing?

 

Thanks…
