Enabling FIPS on Pattern Manager and Software Repository containers deployed by Advanced Content Runtime

FIPS is supported on Pattern Manager and Software Repository container deployed by Advanced Content Runtime starting from Advanced Content Runtime template version 2.5.

To enable FIPS, when you deploy the Advanced Content Runtime, set the value of attributes Enable FIPS on pattern manager and software repository containers to True. It configures the Pattern Manager and Software Repository container to operate in FIPS mode. After you deploy the template, you cannot change the FIPS configuration on Pattern Manager and Software Repository container. To enable FIPS for Chef Server or Chef Client, you must provision the Chef Server and middleware templates that use chef client on a Red Hat 6 or 7 system. Chef do not support FIPS on Ubuntu.
