I have seldom knowledge on AIX, can anyone help me how can I install openssl on aix and move further

Hi jyoti22,

On 7.1 the openssl fileset is included as part of the OS if I'm not mistaken. Can you please run find / -name 'openssl*' and see what turns up?

[mp4783]

You may need to load the development library for OpenSSL if not already loaded. I don't use AIX, but on Linux it would be openssl-devel.

[jdalrymple]

I'm not an AIX expert here either, and furthermore don't have an AIX system available to verify any or my conjecture, however I did find this:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/comm ... 27a9848d9b

Since it's the IBM forums (no doubt not as reliable as the Nagios forums ) your mileage may vary, however it does read such that the development libraries and the binaries are all in one fileset.
