OpenSSL Related Error in CE 5.1 and 5.2

[villdre]

Hi

I have written a bash script that uses SCP to copy files to another server on the same LAN.

Eg. scp /opt/alfresco_associated/tomcat/temp/Alfresco/_source_4939853286195544661.tiff ocruser@10.16.0.6:/opt/ocr/data/temp/eng_119045725.tiff

If I execute this script directly using the terminal, it works without error. If I call it from Alfresco (in Java) I get the below error message:

/usr/bin/ssh: relocation error: /usr/bin/ssh: symbol EVP_enc_null, version OPENSSL_1.0.0 not defined in file libcrypto.so.1.0.0 with link time reference lost connection

Both source and target machines are running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server.

I have tried:

apt update

apt upgrade

Note: I don't get this error with Alfresco Community 5.0.d. But I do get this error with Alfresco Community 5.1 and 5.2. Perhaps something to do with the OpenSSL libraries that come bundled with 5.1 and 5.2 ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Vipul.

How are you invoking that from Java exactly? Can you share the code? I suspect there is something missing from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar when you are executing it from Java.

Thanks Jeff ... I am calling it from a class that extends the "ActionExecuterAbstractBaseClass" ... attaching the relevant Java classes and the Context Bean XML.

Also attaching the "setenv.sh" from the tomcat folder (this is the OOB version).

I have fixed this by adding the below line to the top of my Bash script:

#Reset LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, as it is set by tomcatexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""

This resets the environment variable that Tomcat is setting to point to custom libraries. For the session of the script, the default libraries are called.
