Qlik Replicate on Linux error: Version OPENSSL_3.4.0 not found

[DesmondWOO]

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux v9.7, `OPENSSL_3.4.0' not found message may appear when running system commands. The message explicitly references Qlik Replicate's bundled libraries, which can make it look as though the error is a product issue.

For example, when running:

systemctl start areplicate

You may see:

systemctl: /opt/attunity/replicate/lib/libcrypto.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.4.0' not found (required by /usr/lib64/systemd/libsystemd-shared-252.so)

This phrasing makes it clear that the error message itself points to Qlik Replicate’s libraries, while also explaining why someone might mistakenly think it’s a product defect.

Resolution

• If an error occurs, avoid running system commands inside Qlik Replicate’s environment.
• Do not source scripts such as arep_login.sh or include Qlik Replicate’s library path when executing commands that are unrelated to Qlik Replicate. This ensures that system tools use the correct libraries from /lib64 rather than the older bundled versions provided by Qlik Replicate.

Cause

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7 ships with OpenSSL version 3.4 or newer, while Qlik Replicate (v2025.11.0.286) bundles its own OpenSSL libraries that only support versions up to 3.0.x. When the Qlik Replicate environment is activated, its library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) takes precedence, so system commands such as systemctl may load the older bundled libraries instead of the system’s /lib64 versions. This mismatch leads directly to the OPENSSL_3.4.0 not found error message.
