OpenSSL in a PowerExchange SSL Environment

OpenSSL in a PowerExchange SSL Environment

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols. PowerExchange uses the OpenSSL run-time engine on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. You can also use the openssl program, which is part of the OpenSSL system, to create CA certificates and personal certificates.
On 32-bit Windows, PowerExchange includes all the components required to generate certificates: openssl.exe, ssleay32.dll, and pmlibeay32.dll.
On Linux, UNIX, and 64-bit Windows, PowerExchange does not include the openssl program. However, OpenSSL is pre-installed on Linux and UNIX. To install OpenSSL on 64-bit Windows, download it from the Web site http://www.openssl.org
To verify that the openssl program is installed and can be used to create certificates, launch OpenSSL and issue the following command: 
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL displays the version number.
To maximize security, Informatica periodically refreshes OpenSSL to the latest version and eliminates support for weak protocols. An OpenSSL refresh might be included in a full PowerExchange release or in a hotfix.
When you create certificates using the openssl program on Linux, Unix and 64 bit Windows, the libraries used are different from the ones that PowerExchange uses to process secure connections. However, the certificates are compatible.
