How to update OpenSSL 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 on Solaris 11.3 or 11.4?

Gitronic - GibitnetMay 21 2020 — edited Jul 9 2020

OpenSSL on its official website has stated that version 1.0.2 is in extended support: "Note: The latest stable version is the 1.1.1 series. This is also our Long Term Support (LTS) version, supported until 11th September 2023. All older versions (including 1.1.0, 1.0.2, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8) are now out of support and should not be used. Users of these older versions are encourage to upgrade to 1.1.1 as soon as possible. Extended support for 1.0.2 to gain access to security fixes for that version is available. "

Are you planning to add this version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 to the next Oracle Solaris patches?

OpenSSL has been updated to 1.1.1

*************************************************************************

What I need is to know how to make the operating system in question, at the moment of executing the command "openssl version -a" obtain by default the version 1.1.1.
I currently have both versions installed. But I want to make 1.1.1 the default.

The library / security / openssl-11 library has already been installed, however when I try to verify the version it still appears to me with 1.0.2 and its latest release (u)
