Error description

  • IBM Sterling B2B Integrator provides support for SWIFT
    messages through the SWIFTNet7
    Adapters and MEFG components. Support for SSL communication
    between IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and MEFG is provided by
    dynamically linked OpenSSL
    libraries. IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and MEFG OpenSSL version
    1.0.2 supportis added to MEFG binaries.
    The MEFG installation jar
    supports the following installation configuations:
    
    MEFG that requires no OpenSSL (Non SSL installation)
    MEFG that requires OpenSSL 1.0.1
    MEFG that requires OpenSSL 1.0.2
    
    The new MEFG binaries continue to dynamically link with
    OpenSSL V1.0.1 and also links with OpenSSL V1.0.2 libraries.
    
    For AIX, a change to the LIBPATH is required on an existing MEFG
    installations, for the new MEFG installations.  The required
    change is to the environment variable, LIBPATH, to use the AIX
    OS patch OpenSSL libraries in the /usr/lib, rather than the
    libraries in /opt/freeware/lib.
    
    With prior versions of MEFG, AIX binaries are linked to
    libraries in /opt/freeware/lib/ directory.  These libraries
    include a specific naming scheme that explicitly identifies the
    minor release in the library archive.  By continuing to use
    these libraries, customers would be required to reinstall MEFG
    when they upgraded from OpenSSL 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.  By utilizing
    the OpenSSL libraries in /usr/lib, which have a consistent
    naming scheme between the minor releases, the same MEFG
    installation can be used with either OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.2.
    
    
    Some background information:
    
    Openssl is provided as both an OS level patch in AIX, in
    /usr/bin/open, as well as a freeware level patch in
    /opt/freeware/bin
    
    The Openssl in /usr/lib maintains the same shared library naming
    scheme for versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.  This is same naming scheme
    as Solaris and Linux:
             /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)
             /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.1.0.0)
    
    The Openssl in /opt/freeware maintains different shared library
    naming scheme for 1.0.1 and 1.0.2:
        OpenSSL 1.0.1
             /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.1)
             /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.1.0.1)
        OpenSSL 1.0.2
             /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.2)
             /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.1.0.2)
    
    
    Currently, with prior 5.2.6 versions, our AIX builds have linked
    the /opt/freeware Openssl libraries:
    
             /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.1)
             /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.1.0.1)
    
    To utilize the System openssl in /usr/lib, the new 5.2.6.x_y
    MEFG SSL binaries will link with the AIX /usr/lib OpenSSL
    libraries:
    
             /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so)
             /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so)
    
    This change will allow us to continue to ship the MEFG
    installations for OpenSSL 101, which will work with both the
    OpenSSL 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and likely 1.0.x versions, for all
    platforms.

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Users Affected:
    SI MEFG SWIFTNet7 customers needing to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2
    
    Problem Description:
    OpenSSL V1.0.2 support was not available in prior versions of
    MEFG.
    
    Platforms Affected:
    All
    

Problem conclusion

  • Resolution Summary:
    SI MEFG binaries now support OpenSSL 1.0.2 runtime libraries
    with the MEFG 1.0.1 installation jar.  Both OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
    1.0.2 runtime libraries supported with the same MEFG binaries.
    The AIX LIBPATH will need to include the OpenSSL libraries from
    /usr/lib for the correct shared library signature.
    
    The AIX Openssl in /usr/lib maintains the same shared library
    naming scheme for versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.
