Problem with SMTP password encryption. Openssl version problem.

Question

Hi everyone. 
 
 We are having problems in my company to deploy our sugar applications in a new VM environment. 
 
 The thing is that sugar use the openssl_encrypt with the algo "bf-ecb". But blowfish has been deprecated by openssl in version 3.0.1. We are using version 3.0.2 and it works but in version 3.0.14 isn't working. 
 
 Any way the Blowfish::encode() function is returning false for us in this machine. 
 
 Some body can tell me which is the proper openssl version to use. 
 
 Thanks in advance.

Hello Raul - I believe this is the result of issue 90068 | blowfish encryption cipher in newer platforms (i.e. LDAP / Email Passwords). I've attached a guide to working around this problem. Hopefully this will help.
