Installing IBMCA from the distribution package
Distributors will either package the IBMCA engine or the IBMCA provider, or both, dependent from whether the distribution uses OpenSSL ≥ 3.0 or not. Necessarily not all distributions providing OpenSSL 3.0 or later versions will also provide the IBMCA provider.
Before you begin
To make use of the IBMCA functionality, you need to install the appropriate package. Obtain the IBMCA package from your distribution provider (RPM or DEB) for package manager installation.
Procedure
The IBMCA software is available as an RPM or DEB package named openssl-ibmca-<version> within your distribution package.
See your Linux® distribution documentation for how to install an RPM or DEB package. To check whether the IBMCA library is installed, issue:
# rpm -qa | grep -i openssl-ibmca /* for Redhat and SUSE */ # dpkg -l | grep -i openssl-ibmca /* for Ubuntu */
