I have downloaded, compiled, and tested, openssl 1.0.2d. I can use it preferentially in my shell by editing .bash_profile and placing the openssl_x84_64 at the beginning of PATH. I would like to know how to get programs such as web browsers, etc., to use this version. I suspect that they do not, since they run directly from the GUI.

  • It's very unlikely programs use the openssl executable; some might use the openssl libraries libssl* and libcrypto*, but I'd expect (most?) things on MacOSX (and certainly Safari) to use Apple's Secure Transport instead.

You can just make a symlink to your version.

e.g. In your case openssl should be located in /usr/bin

Do something like:
#mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl_OLD (To make sure you can revert if needed)

Then link your compiled version location:
#ln -s /path/to/your/openssl-1.0.2d/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
