FW: Support for OpenSSL 3.0 in HTTPD
Dear Team,


As per OpenSSL release strategy "Version 1.1.1 will be supported until 2023-09-11 (LTS)". Will HTTPD extend the support for OpenSSL 1.1.1 on EL8 beyond this timeline or there any plan to update to OpenSSL 3.0



Thanks and Regards

Sounds like a question for Red Hat.

I guess it is a question for us. Currently there are no plans to *require* Openssl 3.0 for httpd 2.4.x.

Hi,

Thanks for the update...
If OpenSSL3.0 is not planned does it mean then HTTPD 2.4.x will extend support for OpenSSL 1.1.1. on EL8 beyond below timelines.

Thanks and Regards

This has nothing to do with EL8. We don't deliver OpenSSL. httpd has certain 3rd party
requirements to deliver certain functionality. In order to provide mod_ssl OpenSSL 1.1.1 and OpenSSL 3.0 will do.
There are currently no plans to change the code of 2.4.x such that it requires OpenSSL 3.0.
Until this happens you can still compile 2.4.x against OpenSSL 1.1.1.
