Error creating SSL context

Problem

Under Linux, connecting to a JIRA installation over HTTPS with Worklog Assistant results in "Error creating SSL context" issue

Solution

This is due to the incompatibility going from SSL 1.0 to SSL 1.1. Worklog Assistant currently works with OpenSSL 1.0. In order to rectify the issue temporarily (a fix to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1 depends on support for the same in Qt), please follow these steps:

  1. Exit Worklog Assistant
  2. In a shell, execute:
    1. $ sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0
    2. $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /opt/Worklog\ Assistant/lib/
    3. $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /opt/Worklog\ Assistant/lib/
    4. $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /opt/Worklog\ Assistant/lib/libssl.so
  3. Relaunch Worklog Assistant.
