Enabling the FIPS Mode on the Oracle Linux Server

Enable the FIPS mode on the Oracle Linux server using the commands given in this section.

Ensure that you have upgraded to Session Monitor Release 5.2.
  1. Navigate to the directory where the Session Monitor zip file was extracted and ensure the FIPS scripts have executable permission. If not, set the execute permission using the following command:
    chmod +x ./scripts/FIPS_Scripts/*.sh
  2. Enable the FIPS mode in Oracle Linux 8.10 by executing the following command at the console:
    ./scripts/FIPS_Scripts/Enable_FIPS_on_OL.sh <mode of install>

    Note:

    In this command, the <mode of install> is either online or offline based on the type of installation being done. For example, ./scripts/FIPS_Scripts/Enable_FIPS_on_OL.sh online.
  3. Verify the FIPS status, after running the script. Execute the following command:
    fips-mode-setup --check
    The output should look like: 
     “FIPS mode is enabled”
