Akeeba Ticket System

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 10:52 CDT

Hello again...another non-urgent question that may be beyond the scope of our support agreement. However, I have found your advice extremely helpful in the past.

I have another question regarding compatibility that I hope you can provide some general guidance regarding Akeeba Tickets and Backup.

We are currently considering hosting our production instance of Joomla on an AWS EC2 host. Our network and security team has provisioned a CentOS Stream Release 9 instance.

For reference:

I am concerned about our Joomla third party extensions as we have run into an issue on another vendor's extension. This extension was using Google App integration with a service account and certificate authentication. The issue we discovered was that CentOS 9 uses openssl v3.x and the .p12 Google Certs we not upwards compatible with openssl v3.x

My questions:

-Are you aware of any potential issues with any Akeeba products and CentOS 9 in general? I know that technically Joomla and it's extensions aren't OS specific but thought perhaps you may have encountered issues with other customers and the CentOS 9 distro and default packages.

-Regarding openssl v3.x, do you foresee any potential issue with this and ATS mailfetch?

As always, thanks in advance for your time!

We do not know of any issues. I am developing and testing on both macOS and on a rolling Linux release. I do get to use all the new libraries before y'all do in production. For example, here's what I am using right now:

$ php -v
PHP 8.2.3 (cli) (built: Feb 14 2023 16:58:12) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.3, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.2.3, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2022, by Derick Rethans

$ echo "<?php echo OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT;" | php
OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022

That's as fresh as it gets, right?! ;)

Nicholas,

Yep...fresh indeed!

Good to know you are way ahead of the curve. If only all of our other vendors were on the same dev/test cycles.

Thank you so much!
