If you are running the node manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 or SUSE Enterprise Linux 12, then you must manually install, build, and configure OpenSSL 1.1.1.

Before you begin

• The target computer must meet the prerequisites for installing Spotfire Service for Python on the node manager. See Installing a Spotfire Service for Python Instance on a Node Manager for a Spotfire Server.
• The target computer meets the requirements for running OpenSSL version 1.1.1.

Procedure

1. On a computer with internet access, browse to https://openssl.org/source/.
2. Download and unpackage the current OpenSSL 1.1.1 source distribution.
3. Browse to the unpacked source distribution directory, and run one of the following commands.
   • To install the package in the system default directory, run this command:

     ./config --prefix=/usr -openssldir=/etc/pki/tls shared
     zlib-dynamic

   • To install OpenSSL 1.1.1 in another directory, run this command:

     ./config --prefix=/path/to/location -openssldir=/etc/pki/tls shared
     zlib-dynamic

4. Depending on your choice in step one, do one of the following.
   • For an installation to the system default directory, run this command:

     make all install

   • For an installation to another directory, create a file named /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl.conf with the contents /path/to/location/lib64.
5. Run the command ldconfig.
