Environment

NetIQ eDirectory 9.0

Situation

How to find the version of OpenSSL that is running with eDiretory.

Running rpm -qa | grep openssl indicates an older version is installed such as 0.9.8j.

Resolution

The older OpenSSL version is that in use by the OS.  eDirectory ships OpenSSL within NTLS.  Therefore, running the following command will provide the version: strings /opt/novell/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0 | grep -i openssl.

eDirectory 9.0 ships with OpenSSL 1.0.1.q
