QSslSocket usage throws errors cannot resolve CRYPTO_num_locks etc.

[Sahil_Rangari]

Hi,

We have a Qt 5.5.1 app that uses QSslSocket to connect to a https URL.

On RHEL 7.x, this works all right.

However, on RHEL 8 it gives the flowing error:
21.01.2020 14:49:03 QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_num_locks

Do we need any specific TLS package to resolve the above?

Thanks.

@Sahil_Rangari Did you install OpenSSL?

[Sahil_Rangari]

@jsulm

openssl version gives "OpenSSL 1.1.1 FIPS" with date few months back.

@Sahil_Rangari If I'm not mistaken you need OpenSSL 1.0.x for that old Qt version

[Sahil_Rangari]

Hi,

If I install compat-openssl10.x86_64, the application works as desired.
Should this be an acceptable solution for RHEL 8.0?

Thanks.

@Sahil_Rangari The OpenSSL version you need depends on your Qt version. When using older Qt versions you need 1.0.x, with newer versions you need 1.1.x.
So, yes I think this solution should be OK.
