Subject: dnf not working after installing. its asking for libcrypto.so rpms which I am not able to find
I was able to configure libcrypto.a but unfortunately it still didnt resolve my dependency. The links to download the rpm packages are not working for aix and making it tough for this dnf to work on aix

Hi,
first check the output of below command
# ar -tv /ur/lib/libcrypto.a
then from output try to copy libcrypto.so.xx to /opt/freeware/lib/
Thank you
