Active Roles 8.0.1 LTS supports cryptography libraries and algorithms compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2. For more information on FIPS-compliant libraries and algorithms, see FIPS 140-2: Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.
NOTE: Consider the following when planning to use FIPS-compliant cryptography libraries or algorithms:
-
Although Active Roles continues to support non-FIPS compliant cryptography libraries and algorithms, it will not work properly if it is configured to use non-FIPS compliant solutions in a FIPS-compliant environment.
-
If you already use FIPS-compliant security algorithms in your environment (such as the TripleDES security algorithm, or the SHA256 hash algorithm), you must export your existing configuration, and import it in a new Active Roles installation.
