This procedure sets the WhatsUp Gold server to use FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms within the following protocols:
As an example, if you do not enable FIPS mode and you configure SSL communication with an LDAP or Active Directory Server, the SSL protocol may use weaker algorithms like MD5 hashing. Setting FIPS mode ensures SHA hashing is used to enforce better security. Make sure that you configure credentials for these protocols. For more information, see Using credentials.
To enable FIPS 140-2 mode:
