I've got an Apache httpd server running on Amazon Linux 2. I've just updated it to 2.4.66. An SSLLabs scan tells me I don't have TLSv1.3 enabled. And a Google search told me to add "+TLSv1.3" to the SSLProtocol line in ssl.conf. When I tried that, the server crashed on takeoff. The same Google result said I needed openssl 1.1.1 or later. When I did "openssl version," I got "OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017," and after I did a yum update openssl, I still got "OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017." Amazon tells me that if I want openssl 1.1, I need to install it separately. And when I did a Google search on how to switch httpd over to a separately installed openssl 1.1, everything I got said "compile from source." How on Earth would I do that, without having any development tools on the instance? Can somebody point me to a path-of-least-resistance? -- James H. H. Lampert
