Enabling FIPS on the host OS
This section provides steps on how to set up Red Hat 8 to be FIPS compliant. This will automatically set up the containers to inherit the FIPS configuration from the OS.
Attention: Configure HSTS with an HTTPS reverse proxy that supports Transport layer
security (TLS) 1.3.
Red Hat 8
To enable FIPS on Red Hat 8 follow the official documentation available at: Switching the system to FIPS mode.
Important: You
must run the initial
faspexctl setup with FIPS disabled. Enable FIPS on Red Hat 8
after the Faspex 5 installation is complete. Reboot your system after enabling FIPS.
