OpenSSL is required on managed systems so that the Application Discovery agent software can securely send application information to the CMS.

To obtain the latest version of OpenSSL for HP-UX, go to the Security and Manageability page on HP Software Depot web site (http://software.hp.com/). Find OpenSSL and click the download link.

On Linux systems, OpenSSL is usually installed by default, or it can be installed from the Linux distribution media.

To avoid a number of known security vulnerabilities, use one of the following versions: 0.9.7l or later for the 0.9.7 branch, or 0.9.8d or later for the 0.9.8 branch. Check the web site http://www.openssl.org/news for announcements of OpenSSL security advisories and dates on various historical OpenSSL software releases.

For details on which is the appropriate version to download by operating system version, please consult the VSE Management Software Installation and Update Guide system requirements for WBEM. AppDiscAgent runs with any 2.x version of HP WBEM Services for HP-UX.

To obtain a new version of HP WBEM Services for Linux, go to the Internet ready and networking page on HP Software Depot web site (http://software.hp.com/). Find HP WBEM Services for Linux, and click the download link.
