FIPS mode on Linux

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, you can configure Cognos Analytics on Linux to use only FIPS-certified security modules. When you complete this configuration, Cognos Analytics is in "FIPS mode".

In release 11.2.4, all Cognos Analytics NodeJS modules on Linux are set to FIPS mode by default.
