  2. Open the <relayInstall>/bin/worker-args.conf file.
  3. Add the following lines to the worker-args.conf file: 
    -Dsemeru.fips=true
-Dsemeru.customprofile=OpenJCEPlusFIPS.FIPS140-3-Weakly-Enforced

    fips.flag=-Dsemeru.fips=true\n-Dsemeru.customprofile=OpenJCEPlusFIPS.FIPS140-3-Weakly-Enforced
    Note: The \n separating the two properties is important.
  5. Start the relay.
