To Enable FIPS Mode for the NSS Database

1. Enable FIPS mode for the NSS database using the Security Module Database Tool (modutil). For example:

   modutil -fips true -dbdir path-to-nss-database
   

   where path-to-nss-database represents the path to the NSS database.

   For example, by default, for Web Server 7.0, the NSS database is in the config directory of the Web Server 7.0 instance.
