Determines which version of the OpenSSL library file the driver uses for data encryption.

This option allows you to continue using older versions of the OpenSSL library while you transition your environment to support the latest version.
is the version number for the OpenSSL library file to be loaded by the driver, for example, 1.0.2. When more than one version is specified, the driver will first attempt to load the first version listed. If the driver is unable to locate and load this file, it will attempt to load the next version in the value. The driver currently supports versions 1.1.1 and 1.0.2. Refer to the installed readme for latest supported versions.
