SSL under UNIX: System and Software Requirements

The system and software requirements for using SSL under UNIX operating environments are as follows:

a computer that runs UNIX.
Internet access and a web browser such Mozilla Firefox.
the TCP/IP communications access method.
access to the OpenSSL utility at OpenSSL source if you plan to use OpenSSL or if you plan to build FIPS 140-2 capable OpenSSL.
knowledge of your site's security policy, practices, and technology. The properties of the digital certificates that you request are based on the security policies that have been adopted at your site.

Note: The 9.3 version of OpenSSL provided by SAS is not FIPS compliant. Refer to Building FIPS 140-2 Capable OpenSSL for UNIX for details.
