Safeguard-Bash script get-a2a-retrievable-account.sh is not working on rel9 Linux server

[sgundlach3]

Hi.
I have a Safeguard customer that is using CLI users to run scripts from Linux servers. The script works fine on REL8 server but when they try to run same script from REL9 server, the see this error: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 11.
Is this possibly a compatibility issue?
They have copied scripts and pem files from REL8 server to REL9 server, and they have tried downloading current safeguard-bash. Attaching screen print of error when they tried to run the script manually from the REL9 server.

Hi. We got a little more detail from some error messages. It looks like RHEL8 uses SSL v1.1.1 and RHEL 9 uses SSL v3. Can someone with Linux expertise help please.

Hi @sgundlach3 ,

Are you running safeguard-bash from Docker? If not, then it might be worthwhile having a look at this part of the README (https://github.com/OneIdentity/safeguard-bash?tab=readme-ov-file#docker).

If the issue persists when running the scripts inside the container, let me know and I can take a closer look.

Matt
