I did check the code and I see that we are not using variable, package etc by the name "ssl". If you can provide your playbooks or more verbose output (---v), it will help us a lot. We will wait for more info this. Thanks in advance.

Good day. In the meantime, this playbook works from my co-workers machine. His details are: Ansible 2.9.27 ansible python version 2.7.5 GCC 4.8.5 RHEL 4.8.5-44 (this is a RHEL 7.9 release) Mine, where it doesn't work is using ansible/ansible core, and its details would be listed in the original issue.

Note: attempted various different versions of openssh and openssl, using both AD accounts and a local account, no difference. The playbook runs for a bit, and removes any existing installed ifixes on the client lpar. Once that happens, it fails out with the ssl error.

Hi @smurphyit
From the information provided, the error seems to be arising from this line
It seems that there is some issue with the URL that the module is trying to download the fix from.
Can you please confirm if the URL is accessible from your system ?
Also, if possible, please provide the report that the module is generating for better understanding of the issue
