FIPS mode now available on all platforms

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) is an American cryptographic standard that is published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). IBM Cognos Analytics is not FIPS-certified. However, Cognos Analytics NodeJS modules on all platforms now use FIPS-certified security modules by default. When using only FIPS-certified security modules, Cognos Analytics is in "FIPS mode".

In previous releases, only Linux-based NodeJS modules can be used in FIPS mode.
