On AIX OpenSSL is not available as an rpm via yum/dnf and is instead an
installp fileset that must be manually downloaded and installed.

The following instructions are based on https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-and-installing-or-upgrading-openssl-and-openssh.

Go to https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets?source=aixbp&S_PKG=openssl
and pick the most recent OpenSSL release (each package should contain
compatibility libraries for older versions). Download/copy the `.tar.Z`
package (URL will be temporary) on to the machine into a temporary directory
e.g. `/tmp/openssl`.

```console
curl -sL openssl-3.0.8.1000.tar.Z https://iwm.dhe.ibm.com/.../openssl-3.0.8.1000.tar.Z
curl -sL openssl-3.0.16.1000.tar.Z https://iwm.dhe.ibm.com/.../openssl-3.0.16.1000.tar.Z
```

Then unpack the compressed archive:
```console
zcat openssl-3.0.8.1000.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
zcat openssl-3.0.16.1000.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
```

and install:
```console
installp -aXYgd openssl-3.0.8.1000 -e /tmp/install.log all
installp -qaXFY -d . openssl.base openssl.license openssl.man.en_US
```
